• Design and construction of a hospitality building, ready for a tenant to occupy.
• Preparation of the site through delivery of civil infrastructure, roading and landscaping to provide outdoor public and recreational areas, able to be utilised for community events throughout the year.
• Preparation of the site to ensure it is ready for future development and with services available for future buildings on the site.
