"Big on amenities!"
Mount Sheridan shopping centre is minutes away by car or a 10 minutes walk across the road. In White Rock we have IGA, Liquor store, General store, Domino's, Fish and chips. Got two pools at TAS Acquatic centre and Trinity Links resort. Mount Sheridan shopping centre on the other side of the road has: Coles, Kmart, Post, Reject shop, butcher, sushi train, Hungry Jacks, Tavern, Red Rooster etc. pretty much everything you need for your daily needs. White Rock also has a church and two primary schools, boat ramps and a golf course. Plenty of amenities all around close by. By car only 10 minutes to CBD on a highway or you can use the state of the art bicycle track.
