Tarneit Gardens Welcomes Woolworths

Leading Australian supermarket chain, Woolworths will be establishing a new store at Peet Limited’s Tarneit Gardens in the City of Wyndham, 25 kilometres west of Melbourne.

The retailer is purchasing the 5.08 hectare Neighbourhood Activity Centre site from Peet Limited, subject to planning approvals, which are currently underway.

It’s anticipated the Centre, including the Woolworths store and other specialty shops could open within 18-24 months.

The neighbourhood centre site is bordered by the deviation of Tarneit Road to the west, Ankuri Road to the south and Penrose Promenade to the east.  It will serve the immediate community of more than 1,000 households at Tarneit Gardens and contribute to the retail offering for the wider City of Wyndham population which is growing at an average annual rate of 5.4% and is expected to reach more than 200,000 by 2016.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore welcomed Woolworth’s commitment to Tarneit saying the sale of the site was a significant milestone in the development of the popular community.

“We’re very pleased to see a quality retailer like Woolworths recognise the value of investing in our Tarneit Gardens community and we look forward to seeing their plans for the site take shape.”

Plans are also underway for the Tarneit Gardens Community Centre, expected to feature maternal and child health services, a kindergarten, community meeting facilities, space for programs specifically targeted at older people and offices for Wyndham City’s Aged and Disability Services Department.

The Master Plan for a sports reserve on the corner of Penrose Promenade and Goddard Streets has also been adopted by Council and includes two senior-sized Australian Rules football and cricket ovals, a pavilion, barbeque area, playground and parklands.

In total, Tarneit Gardens includes more than 15-hectares of open space including established parklands and the community’s signature 4.9 hectare Camelot Park.
Camelot Park opened in 2008 and features pedestrian and cycling paths, play equipment, picnic and barbeque facilities, along with a basketball half-court and multi-purpose football goals with soccer crossbar.

Access to Tarneit Gardens, and the retail site in particular, will be improved by the Tarneit Road deviation work which is currently underway.

Residents to enjoy more places to play

Tarneit Gardens’ already extensive network of parklands is set to expand, following the release of the Wyndham City Council’s proposed masterplan for new sports facilities at the growing community.

The planned new sports reserve is located in the heart of Tarneit Gardens, on the corner of Penrose Promenade and Goddard Street.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the reserve would be a welcome addition to the community’s established facilities.

“In total, Tarneit Gardens features more than 15 hectares of open space, including a number of existing parklands like the community’s signature 4.9-hectare Camelot Park,” said Mr Gore.

Camelot Park opened in 2008 and features pedestrian and cycling paths, play equipment, picnic and barbeque facilities, along with a basketball half-court and multi-purpose football goals with soccer crossbar. The new sports ovals will be linked to Camelot Park by a shared-use pathway.

The Council’s proposal for the sports reserve incorporates two senior-sized Australian football and cricket ovals, a pavilion and car park, walking paths, landscaping and a playground. A third smaller “village green” oval is also planned.

Peet welcomes improved travel links at Tarneit Gardens

Residents and homebuyers visiting Tarneit Gardens are enjoying even safer and easier road access with the Wyndham City Council completing a number of key roadworks in the area.

The reconstruction of Leakes Road and upgrades at the intersection of Sayers and Tarneit Roads have been completed, easing congestion in the area, and providing improved travel links for Tarneit Gardens residents.

Works undertaken along Tarneit Road to Penrose Promenade on the north side of Sayers Road is also due to be completed by the end of this month.

Works on the duplication of Sayers Road between Derrimut and Tarneit Roads began in January 2011. The $6.8 million works will also include the construction of a new footpath and the installation of underground power cables and landscaping and are expected to be completed in October 2011.

While motorists may face some minor delays during construction, these improvements will ultimately result in a reduction in traffic and safer roads for all users.

Santa spreads Christmas cheer across Tarneit and Innisfail

Hundreds of residents at Peet Limited’s Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail communities were given a cool start to the festive season with an unusual visit from Santa!

Trading in his sleigh for a Mr Whippy van, Santa toured each of the communities handing out free ice-creams and candy canes, and spreading Christmas cheer.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said Santa’s visit to the Peet communities was a terrific way to share the festive spirit.

“It was good to see so many of the residents – and especially the children – come out and share in the celebrations,” said Mr Gore.

Marking the festive season was another occasion for residents to get to know their neighbours, and simply enjoy the areas of open space that have been created to provide the opportunity for plenty of relaxation and recreation.

These Christmas celebrations are part of a wider community engagement program designed to support the vibrant, growing communities at Peet’s three established estates within the City of Wyndham.

Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail have each been carefully planned to ensure a wide variety of lot sizes are available to suit the needs of Wyndham’s rapidly expanding population.
