With completion of the $324m Robina to Varsity Lakes rail link and $25m Varsity Lakes train station due later this year, Premier Anna Bligh has announced that the new station will form the hub of a major future development, staged over the next 10 to 15 years.

The plans include up to 50,000sqm of commerical space, as well as signficant residentail development.  Part of the Government’s ‘Building for Jobs’ plan, the precinct is expected to support up to 2500 office and 350 retail jobs – as well as the boost to construction jobs during the building process itself.

Ms. Bligh hopes to have the first stages of development underway by 2011.
