Introducing Creating Communities Australia
The Village at Wellard isn't just about quality design and engineering; it's about people living together, interacting with each other in an environment of optimism; of economic growth and opportunity.

Community consultants, Creating Communities Australia (CCA) work on behalf of the developer with the community to grow a vibrant, connected, interactive and safe community and to deliver a variety of community initiatives.

The Village at Wellard Community Art Project
Community members let their imagination run wild during the recent Village at Wellard Community Art Project. Open to all residents of Kwinana and Wellard, this project was a unique opportunity for our community to come together and create a series of artworks that will permanently feature at Wellard Linear Park on Abingdon Crescent. The results are outstanding.
