02 The SiteThe Craigieburn Town Centre site spans 65 hectares and is located on Craigieburn Road, approximately 1km west of the Craigieburn Railway Station. The site was first identified in 1993 as part of the Craigieburn Strategy Plan – acknowledging the area as a major new urban growth centre.

“The creation of a new Town Centre in Craigieburn, which is centrally located and highly accessible to what will eventually be the ultimate urban area of Craigieburn. This Town Centre will serve as a regional centre for Craigieburn and will provide a wide range of retail, community, civic, recreation, open space, entertainment, cultural and institutional facilities and services, as well as being a major employment and public transport focus for Craigieburn.” Craigieburn Strategy Plan 1993.

The site was purchased by Lend Lease in 2008 and comprises three distinct precincts.

01 A Civic and Retail Core precinct to be delivered by Lend Lease

02 An Open Space and Recreation precinct to be delivered by Hume City Council

03 A Residential precinct to be delivered by Delfin Lend Lease

The Master Plan04

NOTE: Road realignment at Junction of East-West Connector and Aitken Boulevard yet to be finalised. Residential plan conceptual only and subject to change.

Key Uses and ActivitiesPlanned for now and the future, the Civic and Retail Core Precinct will cater to the needs of the existing and future Craigieburn community.

Consumer research has identified that the community wants a ‘local hub’, with restaurants and cafes, an interesting retail experience, with a family-focussed offer where they feel safe and secure. A ‘comfortable, welcoming, intimate and friendly’ place with entertainment and community facilities ‘where there is always something happening’ and parking is easy to find.

The plans for Craigieburn Town Centre will deliver all this and more, with supermarkets, major retailers, speciality stores, homemaker/bulky retail, office, and dining options to be provided in the short-term, and provisions for a future department store and entertainment facilities down the track.

Council will develop a Master Plan for the open space and recreation area with approximately 13 hectares set aside for leisure, sporting and recreation activities. The Development Plan shows a draft vision for this area, and Council will consult with the community before finalising plans.
