New retail development
In 2016 land on the opposite side of the highway to the existing retail development was originally sold to Woolworths Limited for $20.3M for a proposed development that would contain a Masters hardware store, however due to the collapse of the Masters chain the site was then sold to the Spotlight Group for a proposed $100M development.[2]
The first of the businesses including Anaconda, Road Tech Marine and BP commenced operation at the grand opening of the new retail development on 31 October 2020.[3]
