The Willsmere colours are replicas of the colours Willsmere was first painted when it was opened. Willys Keeble, the original heritage architect in the 1990s, has told us stories of painstakingly scraping off many decades of paint to get to the original colours when she was determining the colour scheme.
Elements that are in dark red /maroon are orginal, or reproductions of the original features. Items in olive or pale green designate features that were added during or after the conversion to apartments. This is an easy way to tell which items are original.
Here are the definitions for each colour.
This file is the original colour specification data from when the apartments were originally sold in the '90s.

Coming soon!
Watch this space as soon we will be conducting regular tours of Willsmere, including the Museum/Archive centre as well as the Bluestone cells. Both areas are normally closed to visitors and residents.
More details will be added to this page as they become available.
The following document outlines how to create and update content for the willsmere.net web site as well as additional other simple tasks.
When making any updates, please always be careful with spelling, grammar and content.
Try to be informative as well as positive.
For news artcles, make sure you change the category to "news". Set notify to "Yes" if you want to trigger an email advising residents of the update.
If you are posting something about plumbing outages or similar, you may wish to set the access lelve to "Resident" so general public do not see any issues with the complex.
The intercom specialists have been on-site again today and the good news is that residents are once again able to remotely open the door when guests arrive.
The repairs are still in progress and one side effect is that the key fob access on the main entrance isn't working. Until the repair is completed, the front door lock has been set to the open position. You now only have to push the front door to open it. Security will be restored when the fob access is working again. To anyone approaching the front door, it still looks secure.
When the replacement parts arrive, everything will be back to normal.
The way we judge the best photo is to present you with two photos, chosen at random. You choose which one you like best out of the two and vote by clicking the stars above the picture you like. The more stars means the more you like it. The photo that you rate is the winner of that battle.
The process will repeat as long as you want or until we run out of photos.
Please feel free to upload your own photos or start the judging process using the buttons below.
Anyone can browse the photos, but you can only upload your own content or judge other entries if you are logged in.
As those of us living in the centre wing are well aware, the main intercom is not working for some apartments.
We have had technicians working on the issue for some time no w. As the intercom is an old unit, replacement parts have been hard to come by but the main control units for the centre wing have now been replaced. Unfortunately there are still some issues and the next move is to trace the cables between the apartments. This means co-ordinating with residents in the centre wing to arrange access to all apartments, preferably at the same time.
If you are contacted by technicians needing access, please co-operate. We will make sure everyone gets as much notice as possible and if you are unsure about anything, please do not hesitate to contact our facility manager Joel on 0466 554 534.
At this stage it is very hard to give an estimate of when these issues will be resolved but we will do our best to provide updates as soon as they become available.
