Court decision on Greendale Village Shopping Centre
The site of the proposed Greendale Village Shopping Centre sat almost dormant for thirteen years until June this year when vegetation was cleared and boundary fencing was erected around the site.
After many extensions, an appeal and subsequent court order, the development has been granted a further 2 year extension to start construction on the site.
Hopefully in the coming months construction will start and by the end of 2023, Carindale residents will have a new local shopping centre to call their own.

Cannon Hill Community Links October Update
