We've launched our Shop to the Top competition to support local businesses impacted by construction works and give schools in Armstrong Creek and Charlemont the chance to win a $5,000 prize.
During Term 1 and 2 of 2026, those shopping at The Village Warralily Shopping Centre and surrounding retailers on Barwon Heads Road will be giving a local primary school the chance to win $5,000 for educational resources.
All members of the public can participate by shopping at these stores and assigning their points to their preferred school among the list of participating schools:
Armstrong Creek School
Biyala Primary School
St Catherine of Siena Catholic Primary School.
No minimum spend is required. Every dollar spent at the participating retailers will earn 1 point toward shoppers’ chosen school.

We’ve completed preparatory works to add lanes between Reserve and Lake roads, including relocating key utilities infrastructure and installing major drainage lines. Work is also progressing to widen the Armstrong Creek bridge.
Recently a 16.7m piling rig dominated the skyline at Warralily Boulevard Reserve, drilling holes up to 10.3 metres deep to install 34 steel-reinforced concrete piles. These concrete piles will strengthen the retaining wall of the existing bridge and lay the foundations for the new Geelong-bound lanes.
We've reopened Boundary Road between Barwon Heads Road and Pythias Way after a 3-month closure. The community will begin to see safety improvements on this side of the intersection, with a new left-turn slip lane onto Barwon Heads Road. We’ll now get ready to start work on the eastern side of the Boundary Road intersection.
