The Lend Lease/General Property joint venture is working on the project under the direction of the New South Wales Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources, and Landcom, a state-owned land development corporation. The partnership concludes six months of negotiations between DIPNR, Landcom, Lend Lease and GPT following the shortlisting of the Lend Lease and GPT joint venture in February. The parties must still gain approval for the proposed master plan and sign off on a product delivery agreement.

Lend Lease has a 51% interest in the joint venture and GPT has a 49% interest. According to the provisions of the joint venture, a change of control of either GPT or GPT Management Limited gives Lend Lease a call option to acquire GPT's interest in the project. GPT has a call option to acquire Lend Lease's interest in the event of a change in control of Lend Lease Corporation.

The first phase of development, expected to open in 2005, is slated to include: community facilities including library, child care and community hall; two school sites (one private and one public); retail facilities, including supermarkets, specialty shops and entertainment venues; commercial development; residential development in a range of styles; transport interchange; and open space and recreation areas.

Lend Lease says the project will utilize the services of Bovis Lend Lease and Lend Lease's integrated development business including Delfin Lend Lease.
