Old blue jeans help cause STAFF AT Hocking Stuart Geelong know that a good pair of jeans is a manditory fashion item in any wardrobe. Last Friday the team paraded a variety of the latest styles as well as some oldfashioned favourites in a fundraising day for genetic disease research. Skinny leg, flair, hipster and stone-washed jeans were all worn to the office for the Genes for Jeans Day fundraiser. Hocking Stuart Geelong director Leigh Melbourne said one in 20 children were born with some sort of genetic fault. “Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease,” Mr Melbourne said. “There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, genetic defects and many other disorders. “The scientists at the Children’s Medical Research Institute are working to prevent these diseases before they occur in children, or to develop better treatment.” Mr Melbourne was happy to support the “fantastic” cause. “It’s not every day you see real estate agents out of their suits and conducting appointments in jeans but in order to raise awareness of such a fantastic cause we were more than willing to break the status quo,” he said. “All staff at Hocking Stuart Geelong made an individual donation to the cause, with the company matching dollar for dollar what was raised by staff.”

Youth project benefits from tin shed bash RESCOM Real Estate celebrated Christmas early this year when it teamed up with a local winery to present Bannockburn’s fundraising event of the year. ResCom directors Tom and Seka Powell joined forces with Clyde Park Winery’s Terry Jongebloed and Sue Dixon for the successful Christmas in July function. A tin shed on a Bannockburn hill was transformed into a lavish function centre for the event, attracting many people from the Geelong and Golden Plains business communities. The event showcased some of the region’s best food and wine to the 150 guests in attendance. Ms Powell said the event raised $20,000 for a Golden Plains Shire and United Way Geelong youth health program. She said $50,000 had been raised for the project over the past three years. “The aim is to run an adolescent health program aimed at reducing high-risk, alcohol-related behaviour for youth in the 3331 postcode area, starting later this year,” Ms Powell said.

A chorus line: Hocking Stuart staff kick-start their Genes for Jeans Day fundraiser.

The Independent, Friday August 13, 2010

newhomes&land GJ Gardener’s Catania now on display at Grand Lakes Estate G J Gardner Homes Geelong is pleased to announce the opening of its newest display home. The Catania 234 is a new plan in the GJ Gardner Homes Metro range. The Catania has been designed with flexibility in mind. Areas within the home have been apportioned to enable sections to be easily mirrored and, in some respects, switched so that the interior can be adaptable to a wide variety of living styles while addressing the issues of orientation toward the sun for energy and comfort benefits. These changes are possible without modifying the floor area or roofline, which means no change to the cost of the home! In addition, the emphasis on clever design and flexibility means the floor-plan can be readily adapted to sloping blocks with minimal disruption to the

lay-out or design. Adding floor area by closing in the alfresco area or extending the home with an upper storey can be readily accomplished to suite buyers’ individual requirements. The Catania is a truly innovative design with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study nook, an outdoor area, a lounge, a laundry, an open-plan kitchen, meals and family room and a double garage. Space has been utilised in an extremely versatile and practical way. All bedrooms are totally private and separate, while each living space is social and open-plan. However, close inspection of the floor-plan reveals the advantages of entertaining guests any time. Guests can move with ease from the front entrance to the lounge and through to the alfresco and kitchen area without have to enter the main living zone of the

home, ensuring smooth flow through the interior. This makes the Catania perfect for keeping what appears to be an open design totally separate. GJ Gardner Homes allows clients to customise the Catania plan. Buyers can add a fourth or fifth bedroom, a powder room near the alfresco area or turn the lounge into a theatre room. On display in Grand Lakes Estate at 13 Springwater Drive, Lara, the Catania starts at $198,200 or, as displayed, $ 297,150. The Catania is open for viewing from midday to 5pm from Saturday through to Wednesday. For more information phone GJ Gardner Homes Geelong on 5221 1447 or visit its design centre at 228 Moorabool Street, Geelong, between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Visit GJ Gardener’s website at www.gjgardner.com.au.

New sites will have park frontage T

he release of Warralily’s first park-frontage home sites gives buyers the opportunity to secure their own slice of heaven nestled right in the heart of the Armstrong Creek’s masterplanned community. The land release offers 27 exclusive home sites ranging from 434 to 705 square metres and include allotments fronting Warralily’s conservation reserve and Armstrong Creek parklands. Warralily sales and marketing manager Crystall Mousios says Armstrong Creek’s commitment to parks and open space will encourage an active, community focussed lifestyle. “Typically new housing estates commit around 10 per cent of their space to public open space, so Warralily is really going to offer residents something better,” Crystal says. “A number of home sites in the new release of land will provide buyers with a fantastic view over the conservation reserve and Armstrong Creek parklands and all will be only a short walk to Warralily’s extensive walking path network that will connect residents to nearby schools, cafes and shops.” Crystal says buyers are “genuinely excited” about the development’s location, facilities and openspace. “The location is attractive to buyers who are seeking the much sought-after nearby-coastal lifestyle with all the benefits of being close to Geelong’s CBD and waterfront, as well as the new ring road,” Crystall says. “Warralily will cater to the needs of all life stages with the range of residential lot sizes and housing options, from detached family homes to medium density housing close to community hubs.” Warralily development manager Matthew Dean says the development’s parkland will play a role in the overall health and wellbeing of the community. “Warralily aims to promote the connection of people and parks as places for physical activity, sanctuaries from urban stress and havens for children to explore the wonders of the natural world,” Dean says. Warralily’s sales office is at 259 Charlemont Road, Connewarre. Phone 1300 661 719 or visit www.warralily.com.au.
