Warralily is the Geelong region’s new blue-chip location – with schools, shopping centres, sporting and recreational options – and the convenience of city facilities and the charms of the Surf Coast.

There has never been a better time to visit the Warralily Display Village, with the recent opening of new display homes, as well as nearby Mirambeena Park and The Village Warralily Shopping Centre, all contributing to a great day out for the whole family.
As Warralily continues to attract people at record levels, the display village offers a welcome destination for new home hunters looking for inspiration from some of Victoria’s top homebuilders. The village showcases 28 contemporary and affordable homes featuring the latest in new home designs, interiors, exteriors and outdoor entertaining.
The newest display home arrivals by Mega Homes, Eight Homes and Burbank are now open to add to the line up including Metricon, Geelong Homes, Boutique, Porter Davis and more.
While at the village take the opportunity to experience Warralily – consistently rated as the best-selling estate in Geelong. A massive 50 per cent of the estate has been sold to create a thriving community of 5500-plus residents occupying over 1800 homes.
Warralily is a runaway hit with home buyers, especially young families looking for lifestyle, amenities, affordability and ready proximity to the best of coast and urban living.
A short stroll from the display village is the new $1.2 million Mirambeena Park with it’s shipwrecks, swings and slides sure to be a welcome relief for the kids. Tots and teens alike will delight in all sorts of offerings: they can climb, slide, hide, skid, run, jump, bounce, kick, dig and wizz about in the extensive sand-filled playground.
They can engineer waterways in stone channels or create gong and glockenspiel music in a soundplay area designed by sound artist Herb Jercher. But these features barely scratch the surface of what’s on offer at super-suburb Warralily’s $28 million ‘green spine’ works.
Drive through the estate along Warralily Boulevard you’ll quickly gain a sense of Warralily’s indisputable Australian nature, with eucalypts and large old river red gums lining the idyllic Armstrong Creek to provide a natural wonderland for both residents and native animals.
Enjoyment of the outdoors is encouraged with 30 kilometres of walking and cycling paths planned to connect homes and community amenities, parks and conservation areas.
There’s a commitment to environmental sustainability that has seen the development earn state and national Awards for Excellence for its wetland systems.
Civil, landscaping and infrastructure investment to date has hit the $420 million mark.
In all, construction of 60 stages is complete, 14 stages are under construction and the first stage of the $100 million shopping village opened this month.
The Village Warralily heralds a commercial coming of age for Warralily.
Warralily residents are among new specialty business operators helping bring convenience, connections and hundreds of jobs to its centrepiece The Village Warralily Shopping Centre.
The retail centre bordering Barwon Heads Road and Central Boulevard fulfils Warralily’s vision as a welcoming, vibrant town attraction at the heart of a master-planned precinct offering sport and recreation, education, childcare and more.
The shopping centre has Woolworths as an anchor tenant, and 15 retail and food outlets bordering a leafy town square plus office spaces, medical and dental clinic, a chemist and a gym.
