Plans have been unveiled for a new development in Griffin with a shopping centre, park, farm and 126 houses.
Wattle Run says construction of Freshwater Hub will begin next year and finish in the latter part of 2024, subject to weather and supplies.
It will have four sections, Village, Park, Farm and Place whose features include:

The Piazza will be for alfresco dining with an entertainment area for live music
Urban Arts Square is to be a covered green space for community activities such as busking, art exhibitions and children’s story time
Park and farm
The Leisure and Activity Centre will have a gym, swimming pool and restaurants.
Freshwater Park will include walking tracks and a recreational area.
