Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett said the facility would be one of the best in Australia, boosting local employment, attracting more visitors and would cater for a growing community.

The release of the video followed a decision a week earlier by the council to allow earthworks to take place at the site during a usually prohibited period between October and March.

The decision will mean engineers representing LandCorp can carry out bulk earthworks from next month until December 2014 ahead of the start of construction on the centre early next year.
