Education
Ashbury is surrounded by plenty of local childcare, primary education and secondary education facilities.
Ashbury’s youngest residents enjoy a lifestyle second to none with Iona College, Geelong Lutheran College, Armstrong Creek School and Oberon High School just minutes away.
In addition to the existing childcare and schools in the local area, there are future childcare and primary education facilities proposed within Ashbury, making life just that much easier for Ashbury’s future residents.
Iona College Geelong
Ashbury residents have access to a Catholic Coeducational Secondary College on their doorstep following the opening of Iona College across the road from the estate.
Oberon High School
The new campus at 163 Batten Road, Armstrong Creek, welcomed its first students in Term 1 2021 and caters for growing demand for education in the southern Geelong region. It forms part of the new Armstrong Creek Education Precinct, located right next door to existing Armstrong Creek Primary & Specialist School, delivering quality education from Prep through to Year 12, all in the one location.
Shopping
Need some retail therapy? When it comes to shopping Ashbury residents have their pick of a range of local shopping centres, such as the Armstrong Creek Town Centre, Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, The Village Shopping Precinct and the Geelong CBD to name a few.

Community
At Ashbury, we believe a happy, healthy lifestyle starts with balance — living close to work, school and essential services, while still enjoying the space and freedom to unwind.
Proudly developed by the Dennis Family Corporation, Ashbury is more than just a place to live — it’s a growing, connected community. From Australia Day celebrations and Easter egg hunts to Neighbour Connect Days, we’re proud to bring people together through our regular events.
We’re also committed to supporting the local groups that make our community thrive. Since 2018, the Ashbury Community Fund has awarded over $100,000 in grants to grassroots organisations across Armstrong Creek and surrounding areas — helping to build a more vibrant, inclusive place to call home.
Adventure
Fill your weekends with adventure, with so much to explore in the region. Explore a unique part of Victoria, with its own cultures, cuisines, and style. Enjoy gourmet local produce and cellar door tastings at any number of award-winning wineries and breweries in the area.
Go horseback riding into the sunset on one of the ranches nearby or play some golf at a selection of golf courses on the Bellarine Peninsula. Whatever your desire, you can be sure it’s not far away.
Nature
At Ashbury, nature is never far away. With 30 hectares of dedicated open space and conservation areas—including 16.5 hectares for tree preservation and protected native species—you’ll enjoy a community that truly embraces the outdoors.
Families will love the future sporting precinct (8.6 hectares), plus walking and cycling trails, a neighbourhood park, and upcoming playgrounds and pocket parks.
And when you’re craving the coast? You’re just 15 minutes from Barwon Heads and Torquay, with Ocean Grove and the Great Ocean Road just beyond. From bushland trails to beachside days, Ashbury connects you to the best of both worlds.
