The early developments within the precinct would have access to a range of community infrastructure and facilities including playgroups, childcare centres, bowls club, along with a range of active and passive open space all located within two kilometres of the precinct.
McCanns Lane sees an outstanding opportunity to create a vibrant retail and community precinct that can grow alongside the surrounding community. McCanns Lane looks forward to working with Council to deliver community facilities adjacent to, or co-located with, the retail and commercial offering. We see the potential to create a vibrant and engaging space at this location from an early stage, using a design that starts small and flexible but can scale up and adapt to the growing community. The aim is to create a strong community hub feel that builds over the initial years and continues as the precinct grows and evolves.
Our first stage will see construction of the initial portion of the Clever and Creative Corridor adjacent to the retail and community precinct.
The Framework Plan recommends community infrastructure provision in the McCanns Lane Precinct will include a Multi-Purpose Community Centre, Integrated Children’s Centre (early learning centre, kindergarten, maternal & child health), Cultural Hub, Health & Wellbeing Hub, Police & Justice Centre, two primary schools, one secondary school and a network of active and passive open spaces.
It can also be reasonably expected that open space (passive and/or active) will be provided at a relatively early stage of development.
