Construction underway for $13.5 million clubhouse at Stockland Halcyon Evergreen
Construction has commenced on the $13.5 million state-of-the-art clubhouse at Stockland Halcyon Evergreen, an all-electric land lease community designed for over 55s in Victoria’s south-east.
Halcyon Evergreen is located in Clyde, a growing suburb approximately 57 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD.
Once complete, Halcyon Evergreen will comprise 295 architecturally designed homes, each with a 7-star energy rating and a 3.9-kilowatt solar system as standard.
The new clubhouse will include a library, social dining and recreational spaces, BBQ area complete with a pizza oven and firepit, and a health and wellness precinct. This wellness precinct will feature an indoor pool, outdoor spa, sauna, yoga deck, a gym, three pickleball courts, a half-sized bowling green, sports pavilion, vegetable garden and greenhouse.
Homeowners at Halcyon Evergreen already enjoy access to the Stables Precinct, which includes a fully equipped community kitchen, dining room, gold-class cinema, and games room, creating a hub for socialising and entertaining.
Garry and Karen Dyer recently moved into Halcyon Evergreen for its lock-and-go lifestyle and are already making great use of the amenities in the community.
“I had always thought about lifestyle living – it was something that appealed to me. The safety of living this way and the ease of lock-and-go matched the lifestyle we were after. We feel we have made the right decision at the right time for us,” Karen said.
“We are currently using the Stables Precinct for catch ups with other home owners and with our family and friends. The cinema was a hit with our granddaughter and the rest of the family are looking forward to using it. We are both very much waiting for the jewel in the crown that is the clubhouse – particularly the pool, gym, and outside amenities.
“Other home owners in the community have now become our friends, and we all know we can call on each other if we need any help. Our 4-year-old Cavoodle gets many pats from other home owners and the managers here have been extremely helpful and approachable if we need anything,” Karen added.
Stockland General Manager of Halcyon Victoria, James Westh, said the clubhouse will be a quality addition to the existing community facilities at Halcyon Evergreen.
“We understand that today’s over-55s are looking for more than just a home, they want a community that is vibrant and connected, with quality facilities on their doorstep,” Mr Westh said.
“Halcyon Evergreen combines the best of Clyde’s surrounds – the Clyde Park Sports Precinct, equestrian trails and proposed parks and playgrounds – with resort-quality living, making it a great place for home owners to connect with nature and enjoy an active lifestyle.”
City of Casey Mayor, Councillor Stefan Koomen said Council has a longstanding commitment to partnering in projects like this, which have delivered far-reaching benefits for our community and its visitors.
“These types of projects are an important part of the housing continuum, offering early-age retirees, or those approaching retirement, opportunities to downsize to lifestyle living with options full of community and recreational amenities,” Cr Koomen said.
“We are pleased to see this project come to life as it aligns with Council’s commitment to delivering connected, sustainable and affordable housing.”
The clubhouse will be built by local builders, Jardon. This is Jardon’s second clubhouse under construction at a Stockland community, with the first at Halcyon Jardin nearing completion in mid-2025.
Halcyon Evergreen is one of Stockland’s five land lease communities in Victoria:
- Halcyon Berwick and Halcyon Jardin, close to Halcyon Evergreen in Melbourne’s south east
- Halcyon Highlands in Melbourne’s north
- Halcyon Horizon in Armstrong Creek near Geelong
