MULTIPLEX has lodged an interim development application with the Armadale Redevelopment Authority to develop a multi-million dollar distribution centre for Coles Myer at Forrestdale Business Park near Armadale.
The Forrestdale Business Park is on 184 hectares bordered by the soon-to-be-opened Tonkin Highway extension to the west, Armadale Road and Ranford Road.
Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan said it was proposed the centre be built on 30ha, comprising 7.5ha under roof.
She said the centre would employ up to 500 people and give the Armadale region a huge economic boost.
Ms MacTiernan said several other major organisations had also expressed an interest in the park.
