A development application has been lodged for the rejuvenation of a popular north Brisbane shopping centre, just this month.
It’s for the Clayfield Villagio Shopping Centre, located at 830-832 Sandgate Road and 139 Junction Road, Clayfield.
Designed by Feather and Lawry Design, the proposal seeks the demolition of the single storey building fronting Sandgate Road and retention of the building fronting Junction Road as part of the retail neighbourhood centre redevelopment.
The proposed new buildings will provide a variety of retail, office, shops, and restaurant tenancies in an expanded neighbourhood centre.
Ground floor retail tenancies will front the internal arcade that will provide for an outdoor alfresco dining.
A raised pedestrian crossing will provide safe access from the existing retail buildings to the newly proposed.
A rooftop deck will be placed along the Sandgate Road frontages, which will be accessible from a circular staircase/lift and walkway bridge across the arcade to connected retail buildings.
According to the development application – ‘the contemporary architecturally designed buildings provides a unique facade, landscaping, and strong visual presence from the street frontages of the corner site’.
A new slip lane and vehicle entrance is sought from Sandgate Road that provides access to the basement carparking, loading area and ancillary ground floor carparking spaces.

The proposal seeks to add 50 new carparking spaces in the new layout, providing 93 car parks across all up.
The Junction Road vehicle access is retained, with a new vehicle access is provided from Sandgate Road and a new pedestrian entrance and arcade plaza space provided from the corner of the road intersection.
According to Planning Initiatives, “the proposed extension has been designed and sites to minimise any impacts on residents consistent with its location in the Neighbourhood centre zone”.
“The proposal will provide additional carparking, improved services and loading areas, reduced the area of hardstand and increase landscaping to the site.
“The proposed layout provides clear and direct pedestrian pathways which are safe and easily accessible supported by an improved vehicular circulation system which is safer and more convenient to navigate.

The proposal will add another 966 sqm of gross floor area (GFA), increasing the overall GFA to 2,659 sqm once completed.
