Region. Development in M7 catchment area

M7 operator, Westlink, says 350,000 square metres of industrial building is currently under way in its catchment, with councils in Blacktown, Liverpool and Penrith assessing a further 400,000 square metres. Despite the anticipation of a slow down, Prestons and Eastern Creek remained hotspots for industrial property development, Knight Frank said. The outer-west and the south-west dominated the number of leasing deals in terms of space volume in the first six months of 2008.
