The Good Friday Appeal 2023

Urban Angles client Henley Homes joins the Good Friday Appeal for the 30th year!

For 92 years, the Good Friday Appeal has raised funds for the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne. The Royal Children’s is an internationally recognised centre for leading research and education, and as the major specialist paediatric hospital in Victoria, provides outstanding care for children and their families in Victoria, as well as across Australia and often, overseas too.

Seeking initiatives of support for the amazing work of the Royal Childrens Hospital, in 1993 the passionate Directors at Henley Homes created a unique charity drive to raise funds for the Good Friday Appeal. Together with Villawood Properties, they created an annual charity auction, sourcing donated land and leaning on their shared trade and supplier networks to construct and donate a completed turnkey house and land package.

The first home sold generated more than $136,000 in donated funds, and to date, the Henley Homes and Villawood Properties Charity Home Auction project has raised $18,238,841 in charitable donations for the Appeal.

“ We believe it’s such a good thing to do – the right thing to do, and if we manage to save one baby’s life, then it makes it all worth it.” Rob Bowen, Henley Director.

Urban Angles have been a proud marketing partner of Henley Homes since 2016, helping the team create memorable and show-stopping creative imagery that connects and captures the attention of home buyers Australia-wide. Our 3D renders, display home photography and custom floorplans have shaped successful marketing campaigns for Henley, and we are humbled to have our work support the sale of this year’s Charity Home Auction.

The Electra 35, featuring the contemporary Novello façade and set on a generous 512m2 block, is this year’s Good Friday Appeal home delivered by Henley Homes and Villawood Properties. This sensational “solar all-electric” family home shares two levels, and features four plush bedrooms, two bathrooms and four living spaces, making it the ideal home for large, growing, and multi-generational families.

Built by a team of Victoria’s most skilled tradespeople, the Electra 35 includes a suite of luxurious fittings and finishes, including double-glazed windows, SMEG appliances, premium Laminex joinery and Caesarstone benchtops. As a complete, turn-key home, the Electra 35 includes irrigated landscaping, a covered alfresco, an alarm system, and even a 6kW solar panel system. A 12-month extended maintenance check is also included.

The sale of this year’s home will contribute to the support of the Good Friday Appeal, helping the Royal Childrens Hospital as they continue to provide world-class care to patients. Funding helps deliver –

The Electra 35 home donated by Henley Homes and Villawood Properties will go to auction this Good Friday, 7th April 2023 at 2 pm at the Coridale community in Lara, Victoria.

A ‘No Reserve’ auction on the property means that this house can sell for any amount.

Inspections are now open every weekend from 11 am – 12 pm, and on Wednesdays from 6 pm – 7 pm. To make an appointment for an inspection, contact Malak Ross via email or by calling 0480 177 101.

Knowledge-base context

How this topic fits current Urban Angles guidance

The retouching article favours preparing an uncluttered property before capture, avoiding unnecessary personal details and using virtual furniture thoughtfully. It discusses removing temporary items and changing grass or paint where corresponding real changes are occurring. These examples are not a universal list of free editing inclusions.

Its treatment of permanent features requires care:

Source statement Implication for KB use
The retouching article generally rejects removing permanent fixtures such as power lines or neighbouring buildings. Preserve this restriction when explaining the article.
The same article describes idealised builder/architecture imagery with neighbours or distractions removed. The article itself distinguishes a different use case without defining a complete approval policy.
The operational FAQ says removal of permanent external structures can misrepresent a property and requires written acceptance of legal responsibility for the requested edit. Preserve the stated condition; do not convert it into blanket permission to make the change.

This is a source conflict and a context distinction that the KB cannot resolve. Obtain Urban Angles' review of the exact alteration and intended use; do not present either the older article or a written-liability condition as automatic authorisation. The blog's emphasis is faithful representation, while its sales-performance assertions remain promotional. Sources: Retouching article, Operational FAQ — Post-production / Retouching / Editing.

Relevant production capability

The related current service pathway is property and architectural photography. The following KB material describes that capability and its planning context. Historical dates, equipment, promotions and campaign examples in the archived article remain source-specific and are not presented as current offers.

Urban Angles offers property photography for real estate professionals and agencies, home builders, architects and developers. Its photography offering covers residential listings, commercial spaces, architectural work, locations and people. The service page describes support from shoot planning through to retouching and delivery, with the approach tailored to the project and the customer's branding.

The company positions photography as a way to attract attention and support property marketing. Claims about stronger engagement, competitive advantage or better campaign performance are company marketing claims; the source does not provide measured outcomes or establish a guarantee. Source: Photography service page.

The photography FAQ describes shoot planning around the property's strengths, prospective buyer profile and campaign strategy. Composition, lighting, lens selection and the sequence of images are factors in developing the final image set.

For customers with multiple listings or offices, Urban Angles says it works with defined shooting standards, colour profiles and editing processes to maintain visual consistency. It also says it can follow agency style guides, including composition preferences, colour treatment and delivery specifications. These details support the company's stated ability to serve both individual projects and customers who need repeatable presentation across several campaigns.

The page describes photographs as retouched and suitable for marketing delivery. It does not specify an image count, download method, resolution, file format, usage licence, revision allowance or standard inclusions. Those details should be confirmed for the particular booking.
