On Tuesday 22 April, the Pavilions project team, along with members of the Seventh-day Adventist Victorian Conference celebrated the turning of the sod for Stage 2 of Pavilions Blackburn Lake. Construction of Stage 2 was officially launched by the Federal Member for Deakin, Hon. Michael Sukkar, with speeches by Ward Councillors, Denise Massoud and Prue Cutts, Galen Gan, the Project Lead, Luke Skurrie from Ironside Construction and Pr. Graeme Christian from Victorian Adventists.  Together with Advent Care CEO David Reece, helped along by Ironside Construction, the first sod was turned. Future residents were welcomed to celebrate the event, with morning tea provided by Miss Lucy, operators of the café at Pavilions. This stage features a pool and wellbeing centre, citrus orchard and vegetable gardens, complementing the existing community facilities, including a cinema, resident lounge, private dining and games room. Already a thriving community, retirement apartments in Stage 2 are selling quickly, with almost half reserved at the time of the sod turn.
