Coles Myer is planning a 2,500 square metre supermarket in West Leederville as part of a four-tier retail and commercial development on land owned by the Petrelis family.
Located on the corner of Cambridge and Northwood streets, the development includes retail shops, a medical centre, commercial offices and 247 car bays.
The site, at 115 Cambridge Street, is currently occupied by Relationships Australia and other retailers.
While Coles Supermarkets could not confirm if it was taking up a lease at the new site WA Business News believes the retailer has struck a deal to open a supermarket within the new development.
The fate of Coles Supermarkets’ Subiaco site also unknown although WA Business News understands Coles Supermarkets has a long-lease on the site.
Woolworths submitted an objection to the development during the advertising period for the development via BSD Consultants.
The proposal for the four-tier retail and commercial complex was submitted to the Town of Cambridge by Cambridge Street Project Pty Ltd, for land owned by N.A and L.A Petrelis earlier this year, and has since gained council approval.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission records show Cambridge Street Projects Pty Ltd directors are Bruce Brown and Gregory Pearce.
The total development area is 5252 square metres and plans submitted to the Town of Cambridge show a basement car parking area, a ground-level supermarket and six shops with a short-term parking area, a first-level 860 square metre medical centre with five consulting rooms and car parking for 71 car bays, and second-level 800 square metre office development.
According to the development plans, the developer intends for the ground floor to have entrances and shopfronts facing the street and entrances to the car parks will be via ramps on crossovers off Cambridge Street.
According to the Town of Cambridge planning division the Cambridge Street Projects has not yet applied for a building licence, which means the development would be unlikely to get under way until at least next year.
The Town of Cambridge received 93 submissions during the advertising period for the Cambridge Street development.
Of those 58 wholly supported the plan while 24 raised objections or concerns.
The main concerns were the impact on existing traffic along Cambridge Street.
However, the Town of Cambridge development and environmental services committee’s report to council said the proposed development would be positive for the area which is in need of improvements and facilities that will increase its attractiveness for both business and residents.
Nick Petrelis, a director of the Petrelis Group, did not return calls from WA Business News.
