Inside developer Kingshill’s plans to build supermarket at Imbil

More choice is on the menu for Imbil and Mary Valley residents with plans to build a new supermarket unveiled as part of the second retail development proposed for the town in the past month.

Developers have unveiled plans to build a supermarket and bottle shop on a vacnat block at Imbil which had previously been earmarked to become home to a bakery and restaurant.

Imbil could soon have some supermarket competition with plans unveiled for a new shop directly opposite the Friendly Grocer.

Developer Kingshill Pty Ltd has lodged an application to build the 818m sq supermarket and two other shops on a vacant block near the corner of Yabba Rd and Elizabeth St.

The supermarket is proposed to be joined by a smaller 100m sq store, possibly a bottle shop, and a 230m sq shop or food outlet.

The centre is planned to be built in two stages if approved.

The supermarket and bottle shop would be constructed first.

The supermarket will sit next to Yabba Creek, with another shop next to the main road.

Thirty-nine parking spaces will be provided for customers.

Kingshill’s proposal is not the first development plan unveiled for the block.

In 2020, the council approved plans to build a bakery, three shops and restaurant on the block.

Fredsville Investments, which lodged the previous application, bought the block for $180,000 in 2017 according to Corelogic’s RP data records.

It is the second retail proposal revealed for Imbil in the past month, joined by plans to construct two small restaurants a few blocks to the east.
