The proposed neighbourhood centre at the corner of Thomas Road and Central Avenue is the next step in Aigle Royal Group’s development of the site east of Kwinana Freeway, known as Samara Casuarina.
It opened Costco in late 2022 and in September received Metro Outer Joint Development Assessment Panel approval to build a $15 million retail centre with showroom tenancies, two cafes and 670 parking bays across 5.7ha of land north of the wholesale giant.
The latest plans are for a supermarket, speciality stores, several drive-through food outlets, liquor store, cafe with outdoor seating and medical centre.
There will also be a large car park, with 423 bays across the centre.
Aigle’s overall plans for the area also include housing opposite the shopping centre.
It previously said construction of the retail centre would start in the first half of 2024 and was expected to be open by mid-2025.
The City of Kwinana is seeking public feedback on the plans for the shopping centre, with designs by architectural firm Hames Sharley available for viewing on the city’s website.
Feedback is open until January 31.
