Green Square Precinct

The $13 billion Green Square project is transforming the southern precinct of our local area into a vibrant and sustainable urban environment.

From its industrial past, Green Square is emerging as a place of innovative housing design, bespoke business and retail, and creative and engaged communities proud of their area’s past and future.

Green Square is set to become a new exemplar of sustainable high-density living with developments linked to recycled water, shops, parks, gardens, entertainment, and bike and walking routes.

At the heart of the Green Square development is the new town centre, a major new residential, retail and cultural hub.
