Redevelopment
Development approval has been obtained and plans for the redevelopment include the addition of around 30,000 square metres of new retail space comprising a new mall and fresh food area, a 14,200 square metre David Jones department store, a new supermarket, additional parking spaces, significant upgrades to external facades and a facelift for existing retail precincts within the centre.
The centre will introduce a Coles supermarket and around 120 specialty stores with a primary focus on national and international fashion brands. The existing Myer store will be reconfigured with a brand new fitout and will occupy around 15,000 square metres of space over two enlarged floors of the centre (Levels 2 and 3). Target will relocate to a new location on Level Two (old Harvey Norman site) and Kmart will relocate to Level One (Target's old location) to ensure they reflect the new look and feel for the centre that will come with the redevelopment. Woolworths will also relocate, fronting a new fresh food market place precinct in the location of Myer's current level 1 store. Following the redevelopment, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre will comprise around 115,000 square metres of retail space and will house around 340 retailers.
A new plaza precinct will be developed on the corner of Station and Stamford Roads, creating an active frontage to local area retail and commercial areas; with a range of coffee shops, restaurants, shade and open space to present a welcoming, community-focused entry to the centre.
An additional 900 car parks would be introduced during the redevelopment, along with improvements to circulation and access.
Retailing icon, David Jones will be located on the Stamford Road side of the centre and will occupy two levels, with car parking floors positioned above and below. Works commenced late 2011 and will be complete by Brookfield Multiplex in the 2nd quarter of 2014.
