The group recently lodged a DA with council for the $200-million lakeside precinct, which is set to feature around 80 new tenancies ranging from cafes, restaurants, a market-style fresh-food hall (inspired by the bustling food markets of Europe), health and wellbeing services, an eight-screen boutique cinema with in-movie dining, a lakeside amphitheatre, specialist retailers, plus around 840 car spaces.

The Lanes’ food markets, boutique retailers and dining venues will be linked by interwoven urban laneways, with the two-level precinct to adjoin 5000 sqm of landscaped waterfront space. The visionary new development forms part of Sunland’s $1.3 billion, 42-hectare master planned community at The Lakes. Construction of The Lanes is expected to commence in early 2018 pending DA approval, with completion earmarked for 2021.
