– Majority of the existing centre retained
– Existing Taxi Rank and landscaping to be removed
– Modifications to existing shopfronts and awnings

According to the planners at Town Planning Alliance, “the proposed new Aldi will reflect a single storey tenancy above the existing car park to Brougham Street. A pedestrian link is proposed providing connectivity between the existing shopping centre and the new Aldi tenancy. The small extension to the shopping centre will reflect a single storey form and will support enhanced activation of the centre through the provision of a subtropical alfresco dining area. The proposed Aldi and new addition to the shopping centre adopt a contemporary architectural design solution that will contribute to positively to the streetscape and local area. The design supports a subtropical design through the inclusion of lightweight materials/elements, outdoor spaces, screen elements, overhangs and awnings”.
The application was lodged 20 December 2016 @ Fairfield Shopping Centre, located at 180 Fairfield Road Fairfield.
