ECQ is a pioneering and award-winning super neighbourhood centre that redefines retail and sustainability. Situated on a sprawling 15-hectare site, this development boasts three distinct stages of evolution.

The tour of ECQ stage 1, explored the heart of this vibrant precinct. Anthony and Vanessa shared how its vision; “A place to be proud of, where people feel completely comfortable,” and the guiding planning principle of “celebrating culture and nature” were brought to life. They spoke about the various sustainable features and innovative design elements that earned Eastern Creek Quarter a prestigious 6-Star Green Star Design and As-Built certification. As well as the details behind the unique hawker style food precinct design and the new 25 week rolling lease initiative which has been an overwhelming success for the centre.

This tour was designed as an opportunity to explore the operational success and community integration that have made Eastern Creek Quarter a cherished gathering hub for the diverse and multicultural community of the Eastern Creek suburb.
