Our community
At Waterford, community spirit is our foundation.
Located within the scenic lower Hunter Valley region, the neighbourhood offers natural beauty and countryside charm, featuring hectares of greenspaces, kilometres of walking trails, and a network of waterways. Throughout each year, the Waterford community gathers to share quality time and celebrate residents new and old. Long running and much-loved events like the Easter Scramble, Christmas Carols, and Sunday Sessions bring residents together to share stories, make connections, and have some fun.
As the community has grown, so too have the range of events and traditions held each year. The Waterford Home Show and Gardening Workshops have brought celebrity guests to the Hunter and given our residents practical tips to make the most of their beautiful addresses.
Another hub for togetherness is Waterford’s on-site café ‘The Kitchen at Waterford’. With local legend Carolyn McIntyre (renowned from Lady Blackbird Bakery) at the helm, this community-favourite is a delicious haven for neighbourhood catch ups and morning coffee runs.

Focused on togetherness
Fostering a strong, connected community is a priority for AVID’s Waterford team. Through exciting initiatives and memorable events, the AVID team work hard to create opportunities for residents to connect, engage in meaningful conversations, and build lasting friendships with their neighbours.
Waterford’s community initiative also plays a vital role in strengthening ties between residents and the broader Chisholm community, including local clubs and organizations that are the heart of our neighbourhood. A key part of this effort is the Sponsorship and Grants program, which supports the local community while investing in the region’s growth.
The Waterford team are continually developing new and engaging programs. Stay connected by registering to receive the latest news and events information and following our Facebook page.
