‘WE WILL LOSE MILLIONS BECAUSE OF THIS’

The project was designed by architecture firm Cottee Parker.

“This area aims to activate the frontage to Town Centre Drive and create space for people to interact and relax. The public plaza will ensure the space is more than just a thoroughfare and connection to Westfield Helensvale through the pedestrian link,” the report said.

The project will go before councillors for approval later this year.
