Postcodes 2264 and 2265 will invest approximately $106.8M into future developments in 2018, with a focus on improving infrastructure ($51.8M or 48.5%).

This strategy is key to the market as it will stimulate commercial activity and increase local jobs, which leads to sustainable economic growth in the near future.
