Austral Village
A world class retail offering in the heart of Austral
WELCOME TO THE AUSTRAL VILLAGE WEBSITE
Welcome to the project website for Coles’ proposal for a world class retail offering in the heart of Austral. Coles is proposing to redevelop the existing Austral Shopping Centre at 83-95 Tenth Avenue & 249 Edmondson Avenue. Planning for the redevelopment of the existing Centre is in the early phases. The process of planning and redeveloping the site will take time, subject to planning permissions, and Coles is excited to build strong relationships with the Austral community to secure the best outcome for local businesses and the neighbourhood.

PROJECT FEATURES
The proposed development of the new Austral Village will include the following:
- demolition of all existing buildings and structures on the site at 83-95 Tenth Avenue & 249 Edmondson Avenue
- construction of a single-storey building containing the following main features
- a full-line supermarket with associated storage and staff facilities
- liquor shop
- retail units comprising four main areas of retail floor space that can be divided into 17 individual tenancies, at grade parking, including click-and-collect bays and shade sails.
- main access driveway off Edmondson Avenue, and two secondary driveways off the proposed future road within the adjoining land to the east.
- landscaping, including public domain improvement works along the Edmondson Avenue and Tenth Avenue frontage
- retention of 2,000 sqm of land for a future community facility to be acquired by Liverpool City Council. The area will be turfed for use as a kick-about space and food trucks on a temporary basis, until such time when the ownership of the land is transferred to Council. The northern edge of this area is capable of accommodating some car parking bays that are integrated with the shopping centre cap park.
- a pedestrian walkway along the northern common boundary to enable future access to the adjoining property to the north at 265 Edmondson Avenue, should this neighbouring property be redeveloped to a commercial use.
