The Lifelong Learning Festival which ran from 18- 27 October, brought Melton’s thriving community together across a host of activities.
The Festival focuses on lifelong, lifewide and lifedeep learning and understands the difference learning can make to people’s lives and the beneficial impact it can have on the community as a whole.
Thirteen not-for-profit groups working across Melton have received more than $15000 in Modeina Community Fund grants.
Dennis Family Group Director, Grant Dennis hosted the night and spoke to the recipients about the importance of the Community Fund program.
“Community Funds were introduced as a practical way of giving back to the communities we create. We recognise the vital role not-for-profit groups play in connecting people and fostering a sense of belonging within our estates.”
Life at Modeina just keeps getting better, as jobs and new facilities in the local area continue to grow.
Great Location
The estate’s pivotal location in the suburb of Burnside places residents in a perfect position to take advantage of future growth and new job opportunities across Melbourne’s West.
Just a 35-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD, Modeina is part of Melton City Council, one of the fastest growing Local Government Areas (LGAs) in metropolitan Victoria.
Modeina’s mums can now deliver their babies in a hospital close to home, following the recent opening of the state-of-the-art Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Precinct at Sunshine Hospital.
Situated on the eastern side of the Sunshine Hospital site, less than fifteen minutes’ drive from Modeina, the 237-bed precinct will provide inpatient and outpatient women’s and children’s services for local families.
Congratulations to the hardworking local organisations who received a Modeina Community Fund grant on the 22nd November 2018.
Held at the estate’s sales office in Lexington Drive Burnside, the evening was a great success with grant cheques totalling $12,500 going to a variety of local not-for-profit organisations.
The community groups who received a Modeina Community Fund 2018 grant are as follows:
A recent trial of using electronic online technology for land sales contracts at Modeina has been declared a resounding success with the program becoming a permanent option for customers.
Caroline Dwyer, Dennis Family Corporation’s Victorian Sales and Marketing Manager, said the e-contracts made the whole buying process easier for customers who participated in the trial.
“Contracts were signed using an iPad and exchanged before our clients even left the office,” she explained.
More than forty future Modeina residents attended an information night held at the Land Sales Office in late July.
As customers still in the early stages of planning their new homes, the attendees were interested in learning more about the garden landscaping offer, Opticomm and other estate news.
Jake Dorko is planning to build a new home at Modeina and found attending the information evening a useful way to meet other owners and follow up any queries with the Modeina Sales Team.
“The evening was a great opportunity for newly titled owners to meet,” said Jake.
To add to the community spirit of the festive season, the Dennis Family Corporation has introduced a Christmas Lights competition at Modeina with the intention of becoming an annual event.
Residents at Modeina who have entered this year’s competition have adorned their homes in colourful Christmas decorations for the chance to win cash prizes of $1,000 for first place, $500 for second and $250,000 for third.
Modeina estate’s first ever Christmas Extravaganza went off with a bang recently as local residents poured into Modeina Estate Park to enjoy the family fun and entertainment that was on offer.
The event provided a perfect opportunity for new and existing members of the Modeina community to catch up while enjoying a complimentary sausage sizzle or slider and drink.
Kids of all ages took part in the fun activities on offer, ranging from a Ninja Warrior Obstacle course to a farmyard petting zoo, pony rides and Fantasy Island jumping castle.
