Pioneering at Armstrong’s Mount Duneed Village
Villawood’s new $55 million Mount Duneed Village, taking shape at Armstrong with its sleek apartments, townhouses and shopping centre, is paving the way for a new breed of medium density living in the greenfields.
The village, or neighbourhood activity centre, will be anchored by a Champions IGA with medical/dentist/chemist facilities.
It will also host a Saltwater Learn to Swim pool centre, Omega Daycare, hairdresser, café, and pizza and Indian restaurants. These will provide residents ready 20-minute neighbourhood return-walk access to all their daily needs – a cutting-edge community lifestyle. But the Mount Duneed Village residential component is also a high-end forerunner of the medium density residential format that will apply in new greenfields communities across Victoria.
Growth corridors at Batesford and Lovely Banks in Geelong’s north and west, with some 18,000 lots, are set to help drive the region’s population to half a million.
Four-level apartments such as those Empire Properties has built at the Mount Duneed Village – the first to reach such a height in the Geelong growth corridor – will become a much more common feature. These will provide a greater level of affordable housing as well as ready access to new levels of amenity and services in the greenfields.
The Mount Duneed Village is a prime example of this model. Its 41 apartments, as well as 52 townhouses, are located in a prime central position – beside the Bunjil’s Nest adventure playground, our resort-style Club Armstrong with its café/gym/pool/family/function facilities, a new community centre and the Mirripoa Primary School.
The new Mount Duneed precinct is pioneering in terms of design, amenity, service access and lifestyle. It will provide residents more choice with close, ready access to services and facilities people need each day – and with its restaurants and other features, into the evenings as well.
