Mirvac general manager of residential Victoria Elysa Anderson says the club will provide residents with a healthy life balance.

Next Gen in Tullamore.

“We’re excited to design a space for Tullamore residents and the wider community that offers a balanced approach to healthy living at Mirvac,” she says.

“We aim to reimagine urban life for our purchasers, and this multifaceted health and lifestyle club will enrich the lives of its members.”

The members-only club is expected to appeal to professional families who can drop in for a gym workout, personal training session or tennis lesson while their kids enjoy the creche or activity programs.

The proposed facility is expected to open sales for membership in spring 2018 and be fully operational by early 2019, with membership open to residents and the broader community.
