Now that was a bit of fun. Smiles all round, kids buzzing about, and mums and dads surveying the beginnings of their new home and gaining a sense of just what the Villawood experience is going to be all about at St Andrews.

Our development staff were delighted at the weekend to host our new purchasers to an on-the-ground tour of St Andrews as it starts to take shape. Stage 1 civil construction is under way, roads and lots taking shape, with works on schedule and plenty more to come in the near future.

To help kick things off, we staged a bit of fun for people to meet their future neighbours. There’s nothing like knowing you’ll have a few friends when you move in, especially for the kids. So kids were able to meet up in a gaggle of giggles and laughter in some giant lawn games as well as a gourmet charity barbecue for Walk With Wings, who care for kids who’ve lost a loved one.

Amazing how fast those bacon and egg sandwiches and gourmet sausages disappeared. Not to mention drinks and our deluxe coffee cart heart-starters. Neat bit of acoustic music went down well, too.

Big smiles, too, from Andrews Farm Soccer and Community Club who were thrilled to receive $5000 in kind from Villawood Properties.

The club’s junior team has been playing in the same tops for more than five years and TLC only goes so far. So with Villawood’s support the junior league will now receive new playing kits – and from all reports the kids are very excited about playing in them.

Our Villawood SA team will present the jerseys to the team at the first home game after they arrive from the manufacturer.
