Rise will incorporate a residential community of approximately 110 residential townhouses and apartments, an aged-care facility catering for 120 people, a retirement village with 161 apartments and 3400 square metres dedicated to retail, offices and medical facilities.

The initial construction work for Carine Rise is expected to be complete by mid-2014.
City of Stirling Mayor David Boothman said it was good to finally see something happening at the old Carine Tafe site.
‘There has been significant community input and consultation to the end result and the local ward councillors were heavily involved representing community concerns which achieved some compromise from the original concept,’ he said.
‘They lobbied for intense development of the site and managing open space provisions on the site to retain a number of trees which would have been lost under the original proposal, which was a great result for the community.’
