I oversee the delivery of each stage and all the infrastructure projects within the precinct including preparation of development programs, coordination of infrastructure design and approvals, revision of design and plans for the subdivision and delivery of the overall project to ensure the development progresses on schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best thing about your role? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the positive side of the ledger, I\u2019m loving the opportunity to broadening my skill set across all facets of land subdivision, working with a great collaborative team to achieve high level results. I\u2019ve only been in this role a short time, my experience has been brilliant, but I have a lot to learn which can sometimes be a little overwhelming!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s so special about Westbrook? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, there aren\u2019t too many master planned communities of this size in the development space. Most land developments in Melbourne\u2019s west tend to be quite small, which often means they can only provide limited access to the level of amenity that a large-scale master planned estate can. By contrast, Westbrook offers a range of amenity that smaller developments simply can\u2019t match including the recently announced future secondary government school within the heart of the estate, a childcare centre, plenty of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, extensive parklands and open space, as well as a community centre and a large Town Centre near the estate\u2019s very own railway station \u2013 the Tarneit Train Station.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will Westbrook most appeal to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWestbrook has always appealed to wide demographic of purchasers. But this is especially true of families looking to get into the housing market who really value a residential community that\u2019s well designed, in a great location, with lots established and proposed amenities, with a strong community orientation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, what are your 3 favourite things to do in and around Westbrook?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I\u2019m yet to fully explore Tarneit and Truganina, I\u2019ve already discovered so many fantastic things to do in and around the City of Wyndham. Some of my favourites places so far are the Victoria State Rose Garden and\u00a0 Werribee Open Range Zoo, both at Werribee Park; shopping at Werribee Plaza (not always good for my bank balance but great fun); and all the fantastic cafes \u2013 Degani\u2019s Bakery &#038; Caf\u00e9 at the Tarneit Central Shopping Centre does sensational coffee!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently living in Kensington with her partner, Grace Scalzo, is the newest recruit to Westbrook\u2019s Project Management Team.
