Villawood’s Club Rathdowne has taken out the highly-coveted UDIA Victoria 2022 Great Place Award.
The ClarkeHopkinsClarke-designed Residents’ Club is the centrepiece of our Rathdowne community at Wollert in Melbourne’s north. Its Great Place award is a testament to great design, community engagement and innovation.
Great Places like Club Rathdowne are really important for people moving into new communities. Villawood’s teams work hard to ensure our Residents’ Clubs are something special and different. These clubs are a real point of difference for newcomers, with loads of features, things to do and ways for people to make new friends.
The award brings Villawood’s trophy-room tally to 29 major awards across numerous areas of activity including masterplanning, design, environment, water, landscape, community engagement and more.

Aquarevo was developed in partnership with South East Water, with innovative water and energy conserving initiatives that make it Australia’s most water and energy efficient residential community.
In 2019 it was awarded an Environmental Excellence award by the UDIA (Urban Development Institute of Australia).
Homes at Aquarevo save up to 70 per cent of water and 65 per cent of energy usage compared to current Australian averages. The savings are equivalent to around 24 Olympic-sized swimming pools of water or taking 300 cars off the road each year.
“Innovative projects like the Aquarevo development are key to putting people first by making our communities more liveable and sustainable for the future.”
The Hon Lisa Neville, Minister for Water

The jewel in the crown is the architecturally designed Club Delaray – the thriving central hub for residents.
This is the fourth time that a Villawood community with a Residents’ Club has taken out the top honours in its category.
