Mirvac Managing Director Nick Collishaw said, “We continue to see strong demand for our residential offerings across Australia from second and third home buyers as well as investors. Our focused approach to the fast tracking of residential projects continues to capture this demand, boosting our pre-sales levels, thereby de-risking the Development Division’s future income.”
Update on Rockbank, Victoria
Following the Victorian Parliament’s approval of the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution, the Government is set to re-introduce an amendment to expand Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary (“UGB”), to cover an additional 24,000 hectares.
