Shoppers and workers in the Gungahlin Town Centre are about to witness a major transformation of the car park adjacent to Woolworths at The Marketplace.
The Marketplace’s $60m retail expansion is underway with major car park expansion works to commence next Monday 27th July.
The car park adjacent to Woolworths will be closed from 5am on Monday 27th July to make way for the new 2 level, 505 space undercover basement car park to service the new ground level retail precinct which will include a new concept Kmart as its anchor. The new car park is expected to open mid 2016.
All retailers will continue to trade as normal and the existing basement car park will not be affected by the development works.
Parking will still be convenient throughout the works with a new temporary car park located off Anthony Rolfe Avenue. An undercover link has been created to provide direct access to the Woolworths store.
“We’re also working in partnership with the Lions Club of Gungahlin to communicate these changes to parking. They’ll be rewarding our loyal customers for their continued patronage with free coffee vouchers”, said Development Manager, Phillip Knackstedt.
A map showing the new parking arrangements is displayed below.
Upon completion the new and improved Marketplace will offer Woolworths, Big W, a new concet Kmart, 100 specialty stores plus 20 places to eat and drink, accessed by over 1300 car spaces.
This exciting retail expansion is due for completion prior to Christmas 2016.
