The proposed amendment has been submitted in recognition of difficulties leasing the existing anchor tenant in the Berrigan Quarter Shopping Centre, which was previously tenanted by an IGA supermarket.

The amendment will support future development proposals for the shopping centre, by attracting land uses which are not currently permitted within the ‘Local Centre’ zone and supporting ongoing viability of the centre.

The amendment will allow the landowner and/or tenants to submit a development application for a ‘Showroom’, ‘Motor Vehicle Wash’ and ‘Funeral Parlour’ land use, following approval and gazettal of the amendment.

Future development approvals may result in changes to the specific land uses within the centre, and modifications to built form (including the potential for additional built form).

In recognition of the existing centre’s role for convenience retailing, any ‘Showroom’ uses will be confined to the existing development and limited to a gross lettable area of 1,850m².
