Last week at the Gungahlin Community Council the Vinta Group presented details of The Marketplace stage 3. This extension will be taking over the open air car park next to the Woolworths side of The Marketplace.
It was announced that K Mart will be the new major retailer in this new development.
This graphic shows where the stage 3 deelopment will be positioned. The two yellow dots indicate pedestrian crossings between the two buildings that will make up The Marketplace. A new entrance into stage 2 is being built now. This new entrance will be in line with an entrance into stage 3 once complete.
Prior to the development commencing the temporary car park near Siren Bar & Restaurant will have it’s capacity increased to provide car parking once the existing car park is closed. Access from The Marketplace stage 2 to this temporary car park will be improved including a covered walkway.
This image shows where the extension will be and how it will integrate with the existing building. This shows why the shops on the car park side of the building are now gone.
This diagram shows where K Mart will be and the new speciality stores. There has been no announcement as to who the mini major will be as yet.
As part of this development 2 basement level car parks will also be constructed with access to the Big W side car park with a tunnel under Hibberson Street. Escalators and a lift will provide access to the ground floor level. Access to the car park will be from Ernest Cavanagh Street.
The plan is to construct the new car parks first to reduce the impact on car parking.
