Originally used for agriculture and viticulture, the area was transformed into a residential suburb during the late 1970s and 1980s. It was designed as a series of 'estates' including Lakeshore and Paradise Quays, focusing on family-sized blocks and green space.
A diverse, multicultural residential hub characterized by large brick-and-tile family homes and extensive parklands.
