Kaufland construction commenced at Merrifield Business Park

We’re pleased to announce that Kaufland has started the construction of its first Australian distribution centre at Merrifield Business Park!

The new 117,000+ sq m facility will cost $255m and marks the next step in the retailer’s entry into the Australian market. The distribution centre will be one of the largest in Australia once complete and include the most advanced technologies in terms of automation, efficiency and sustainability. The centre will service Kaufland’s first stores in Australia, which are due to open in 2020 in Dandenong, Epping and Chirnside, alongside two additional sites that have received planning in Adelaide.

The facility is expected to bring 600 jobs to the region.

Continuing to deliver you more recreational space!

We’re pleased to announce that under a new agreement reached with Hume City Council, we’re contributing an additional ~15 hectares of land towards the delivery of community and recreation facilities in the Merrifield City Centre!

Ultimately it will be Council’s decision as to what will be delivered on the land, however anticipated uses include sports facilities, pavilions, a library, aquatic centre and arts space.

Situated adjacent to our currently-selling Midtown neighbourhood and the future linear park and watercourse, this new community and recreation space will be easily accessible to those walking or riding throughout.

Midtown was already some of the best-located land we’ve ever released – and now it’s even better! Click here to read more about this walkable neighbourhood.

Connect with your neighbours over a Street BBQ

Did you know that social connection is one of the three most important Social Determinants – factors in our society that affect many areas of our health? To assist in facilitating a strong foundation of good mental and physical health for the Merrifield community Connect 4 Wellbeing is throwing street BBQs so that people can stop, chat and meet their immediate neighbours while enjoying a meal together.

How it will work – Connect 4 Wellbeing will bring the BBQ, food and drinks, napkins and sauce, do the set-up, the cooking and the clean-up. We are looking for residents (on a street by street basis) interested in hosting the BBQ – perhaps the nature strip, driveway or shady nearby tree – deliver the invites to letterboxes and provide a smiling welcome as neighbours drop by.

If you’re keen to say hi to neighbours give Nicola from the Connect 4 Wellbeing program a call or text on 0439 376 995 and she can provide more details and get your preferred date into her calendar.
