The iconic cut-price supermarket of your dreams is the first major retailer making plans to set up shop at the Sharkies Leagues Club development.

German supermarket chain ALDI has submitted an application to Sutherland Shire Council for a supermarket and bottle shop at the Woolooware Bay Town Centre development.

The $1.17m application also revealed the shopping centre will be known as Bay Central.

ALDI has also made a separate liquor licence application in relation to the bottle shop.

The store is proposed to trade from 7am to 10pm seven days a week, with restocking and deliveries occurring onsite 24 hours a day seven days a week.

Deliveries are likely to be made by 19m articulated trucks and smaller delivery vehicles.

ALDI will rely on the shopping centre’s 770-space car park for its customers.

“The proposed development does not give rise to any adverse environmental impacts and will have a positive impact in terms of employment generation and increasing the availability of local shops in Sutherland Shire,” the applicant wrote.

“In light of the merits of the proposal and in the absence of any significant adverse environmental, social or economic impacts we recommend that the application be approved subject to standard conditions of consent.”
