Marina Quays ‘a key asset’

CONSTRUCTION of marina apartments at the multimillion dollar Wyndham Harbour development began yesterday when the mayor Heather Marcus turned the first sod.

The sold-out $52.1 million Marina Quays apartment complex will include 104 lots, 1000-square-metres of retail space and 2000-square-metres of open public spaces including a central piazza.

Cr Marcus said the event marked a significant milestone for the project, which would see the growth of a key precinct within Wyndham.

“The Werribee South foreshore is an important asset for Wyndham and we continue to work closely with the developer to ensure the best outcomes for our community.”

Development director Sonya Miller said construction represented 25 years of extensive planning and was the first major step in creating a premium bayside development.

When completed, the $440 million development will include a total of 200 housing lots, 200 apartments and 27 terrace houses.
