Last October the former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins was announced as the face of the $388 million Trinity Point marina project at Lake Macquarie.
"As a local girl, I think Trinity Point is going to be really special," the brand ambassador Jennifer Hawkins, who grew up at Holmesville, said.
Her parents had bought at Holmesville in 1972 for $2300, and she she had spent time on the shores of Lake Macquarie where her “pop” had kept a house on the lake with jetty in her youth.
"The product is going to be top notch," she said.
