Following an extensive planning and assessment phase, Orica received project approval for the Southlands Development Project in April 2012.

In May 2014 site establishment works commenced. Stage 1 was sold to Goodman in September 2014 and was handed over to Goodman in May 2015.

Subdivision approval was granted by the Department of Planning in August 2013 for 3.7 hectares of land on Stage 2 of the Southlands property. In 2016 Stage 2 was sold and the project was completed.

Works at the site were conducted in accordance with the comprehensive Conditions of Approval and overseen by a Principal Certifying Authority and the EPA-accredited site auditor.

In April 2021, a third stage of development was approved that will see an elevated warehousing complex be constructed above the compensatory flood detention basin that was established as part of Stage 1 and 2.
