A development application has been lodged for extensions to a existing Retail Centre and Childcare Centre, located at 158 Gowan Road, Sunnybank Hills (Gowan Village Shopping Centre).
Designed by JNC Architecture, the proposal seeks a new two storey building that fronts the corner of Gowan Road and Brandon Road that will accommodate a variety of retail tenancy sizes and a fast food restaurant.
Separately the proposal seeks a single storey childcare centre over the southern portion of the site set back from Gowan Road. The proposal seeks a rear outdoor play area, under cover verandas and activity rooms along the southern side boundaries. The proposals will demolish existing car parking spaces and redevelop a rear southern vacant site to facilitate the redevelopment.
The site is within the Neighbourhood Centre and Emerging Community zones, aswell as the Algester-Parkinson-Stretton Neighbourhood Plan, with road frontage to Gowan Road and Brandon Road.
