Twin Waters West
The future of Twin Waters West is of significant interest to Twin Waters residents. Over the years there have been three different proposals to develop the former canefields site – the last being successful.
- The First Proposal and its defeat – 2007 to 2013 (TWW # 1)
- The Second Proposal and its defeat – 2019 to 2022 (TWW # 2)
- The Third Proposal - DA lodged on 11 May 2023 (TWW # 3)
Illustrations of the 3 versions of the development are shown below, as well as relevant documents over the years.
