Groceries giant Aldi has listed for sale a derelict building it has owned for more than a decade in Sydney’s south after plans to redevelop the site into a new supermarket were knocked back by the local council.

Over that time, Caringbah Marketplace has been empty, shuttered and gathering graffiti as Aldi worked on successive proposals to transform the site, only to be rejected after finally lodging its application two years ago.
