Deighton says: ‘The outer west is well known for its outdoor pastimes, with a strong horse-riding, trail-running and cycling community already enjoying the surrounds. We aim to elevate and enhance these activities for established and new communities to access and enjoy.’ Capitalising on the area’s beauty, the development will bring much-welcomed progress while providing a turnkey solution for socio-economic transformation.
