- 3,500 square metres of new publicly accessible open spaces
- 844 new bike spaces and 518 car spaces

- A childcare centre with 110 places
- 6,700 sqm of new retail space
- 6,200 square metres of publicly accessible open space
- 840 new residences
- 26,600 sqm of commercial office space
- 1,323 car spaces
Planning approvals are now being sought through the Victorian Government’s Development Facilitation Program.
