The proposed site is situated close to a growing residential area in Marsden Park.

A statement of environmental effects, prepared by Planning Ingenuity on behalf of the developer, revealed that a Woolworths would be built at the site.

The report stated that the community engagement period showed strong support from locals for a “high quality, convenient and accessible supermarket”.

“The overall sentiment and response to the development was positive, with the majority of community members expressing their interest,” the report stated.

The community also expressed interest in a post office and banking facilities, bakery, butcher, multicultural grocers, cafe and restaurants.
