Craigieburn Town Centre

The first sod has been turned on the $330 million Craigieburn Town Centre development that will transform the township into a key regional and commercial shopping destination. Hume Mayor Councillor Rosalind Spence joined Lend Lease Head of Retail Development on site for an official ceremony to kickstart construction today.

The 65 hectare project, which will now be known as Craigieburn Central, will also include a new residential development which will add to the municipalities growing stock of quality housing. Fencing has been erected around the site and earth moving equipment is conducting site preparation works.

The final design of Craigieburn Central merges the best elements of both indoor and outdoor shopping centres, combining main street retailing with fully enclosed air conditioned malls. Craigieburn Central will feature over 150 retailers, green public spaces, meeting places and an exciting new entertainment and leisure precinct. 

The development will feature approximately 55,000sqm of retail including Big W and Target, specialty retailers and fresh food market halls as well as new format Coles and Woolworths supermarkets. It will also include casual family restaurants, a children’s playground, cinema complex and a new concept in food court dining.

Construction is expected to take approximately two years with completion expected prior to Christmas 2013.

Lend Lease is responsible for the development, project management and construction of Craigieburn Central, which is jointly owned by the Lend Lease managed Australian Prime Property Fund Retail (APPF Retail) and Lend Lease.
