The wait is almost over. Shopping convenience is coming to Casuarina Beach, along with a range of other community facilities. Casuarina Village will be a community meeting place; a safe haven for families to shop and play in the heart of the Casuarina community. The design of the centre caters for the needs of residents, the local community and tourists alike. Ample communal open spaces will provide a relaxed shopping environment and access couldn't be easier, with dedicated pedestrian and cycle ways and plenty of car parking onsite.
