Lol Just! WOW

will rockhampton be able to support a shopping centre that big? is there many other shopping centres because they might die because of this

will rockhampton be able to support a shopping centre that big? is there many other shopping centres because they might die because of this

I reckon Rocky will be able to support this, the council has been working on this for with Stockland for 4 years, so they would have it all worked out by now, and yeah there are a lot of other shopping centres.

South Rocky

NO WAY!!! KRISPY KREME??? OPORTO NANDO's WOW BUT SERIOUSLY NO WAY REALLY?

KRISPY KREME there isnt even a store in Brissy Wow but really a KK is Rocky???, same with oporto and nando's

^^ Lucky bastards!!!

^^ If you go to the Krispy Kreme website it says they are expanding into Queensland in the first half of 2008 with 3 new stores planned for Brisbane, Brisbane Adelaide St and Spring Hill. It makes no mention of Rockhampton at all. I was going to say I doubt they'd open a store there before Brisbane which has a far bigger population.

Yeah thats exactly what I thought even GC or even ADL or Perth, I doubt that much although you may of been confused with another dohnut shop like Dreamy Dohnuts?

http://www.graduate-jobs.com/gj/training_scheme/Aldi_graduate-jobs/aldi_logo.gif

↑↑Same with ALDI there are only 3 in Australia

Also with Oporto & Nando's there are only a handfull in QLD and there all in the SEQ area, but if all this info was true then chances are Townsville could see similar with it renovations, plus more?

^^ Sean there are loads of Aldi supermarkets in Oz. Over 150 operating in NSW, ACT, Victoria and Queensland to be exact. No doubt they are looking to open more stores in Qld. You really need to check these things before posting statements that are misinformed.

All the stores that are listed all have places in the Stockland Rockhampton Redevelopment. Brisbane is opening KK stores in 2008, but dont forget Stockland Rockhampton wont be finished to late 2009, so that is a 18 months to expand stores in QLD. Aldi will be replacing Supa IGA, when the IGA ceases operations this year, as according to WIN News Rockhampton.

As for Nando's and Oporto, Rocky has been looking for franchisees for Oporto and Nando's stores since mid 2007, to go into one of the new shopping complexes that was build last year, but they have decided to open in the new food court in the Kmart Plaza section of Stockies after the redevelopment.

Yeah I thought there were more I read the wrong thing on the ALDI website, I must of read the HQ or something? this is what I read on there webiste, MY BAD! ie

http://i32.tinypic.com/2cft9g2.jpg

Thought Id post a render from the stockies website:

http://i28.tinypic.com/mwzgr4.jpg <<Modern!

^^Yeah i thought there were way more than 3.

From the Aldi website

While ALDI has been operating internationally for over 50 years, the first Australian store opened its doors in January 2001. Now with over 150 stores successfully operating across New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and Victoria, it's clear that Australian shoppers have adopted the company's philosophy of great value for all consumers.

Thought Id post a render from the stockies website:

http://i28.tinypic.com/mwzgr4.jpg <<Modern!

That is the pedestrian/car bridge and outdoor food court seating area that faces over Moores Creek. Apparently as part of the redevelopment Stockies is gonna rejuvinate the creek and add it into the redevelopment. It sucks that Stockland hasn't released a whole bunch of renders yet, but if i get time to i will get photos of the ones in Kmart Plaza, there is about 3 on the wall outside of Coles, along with an electical screen that shows renders, has floorplans of the overall centre and information ie stores that will be inc into the redevelopment

Also with Oporto & Nando's there are only a handfull in QLD and there all in the SEQ area, but if all this info was true then chances are Townsville could see similar with it renovations, plus more?

There is 10 Oporto stores and 23 Nando's stores in QLD. As i said before, these stores won't be opening to September 2009, so that is still 18 months to expand new stores in QLD.

^^ However it seems like Rocky is on quite a fast track.

This development is well underway. The back half of Kmart and the old Kmart Tyre and Auto has been pulled apart and part of the extension has been completed. I will try and get photos next time i am over there......if this freakin' rain ever stops:)

Also Kmart Plaza has cut its store in half and the checkouts have been moved further to the front of the store. the only problem with Kmart is that is stinks really bad, old, musty smell.....Kmart smell:lol:

nice development for Stockland Rockhampton i like it :)

Rockhampton will have a population of about 105,000 after amalgamations so this development will serve Rockhampton pretty well. Just wondering wouldnt Mackay be jealous and eating its own words after the other day's article in the Mercury?

Stockland backs Sunday Trading

The Stockland shopping group says it would support Sunday trading if it was permitted by law.

Marketing manager Celina Urquhart says there were 38,000 shoppers at the Gladstone and Rockhampton centres on the two Sundays open for trade in December.

She says the figures show Sunday trading on a more permanent basis would be successful, if allowed.

"The figures that we've had over the Christmas period support that fact, but it's really difficult to say whether the laws would be changed," she said.

"It also depends on retailers if they would choose to trade those hours as well. We're certainly in a position where we'd like to be able to provide the service, but it's also difficult to provide it when the law doesn't allow you to."

Stockland expansion delivers CQ's largest shopping complex

SHOPPING HEAVEN: An artist's impression above shows the massive scale of the $86 million Kmart and Stockland project, which is tipped to "significantly increase the ranges of goods and services within the region"
Kmart development unveiled
19-2-2008

This is a first look at what will undoubtedly be the biggest shopping centre in Central Queensland.

Details of the proposed redevelopment of the Kmart shopping complex and Stockland Rockhampton were unveiled in Rockhampton City Council committee papers yesterday.

The artist’s impression above shows the massive scale of the $86 million project, which is tipped to “significantly increase the ranges of goods and services within the region”.

The development will see the Kmart site merge with Stockland Rockhampton via a closed walkway over Moores Creek.

The council has granted conditional preliminary approval for building works to be carried out, but the complex is expected to be completed for an opening in 2009.

The demolition of areas of the old Kmart shopping centre is continuing.

According to the council papers, the proposal will “service the higher order shopping ceeds of the residents of Rockhampton and within a regional sense by providing for discount department stores, super-markets and specialty shops”.

“Therefore the proposed use will preserve and reinforce the hierarchy of the North Rockhampton centre’s commercial area”.

Stockland appointed local Rockhampton builder JM Kelly in October 2007 to undertake preliminary works for the expansion of Stockland Rockhampton Shopping Centre, which will incorporate Kmart Plaza.

The $86 million proposed redevelopment which will include a new K-Mart Discount Department Store, Kmart Auto, a new larger Coles Supermarket and 65 new specialty stores will make Stockland Rockhampton the largest shopping centre between Maroochydore and Cairns.

The 56,889 sq m centre could include more than 3000 car parking spaces (both centres), with the developers asking for additional car parking during the application process.

^^ Wow, looks awesome, but one question i haven't asked yet, is it all on the one level? Because if it isn't, the Kmart section looks like its on two stories.

As far as I know, it is all on the one level.

Looking on the Plans and renders on display in Stockland, it looks as if Kmart Plaza will actually be raised to provide more undercover parking. The actual shops will all be on the 1 level though.

Yep, Stockland proposed this to RCC just before Christmas along with 2 other changes to this development, but the more parking there, the better, it is terrible at the moment:)

I am also pretty sure that the new bus interchange will be underground as well if Kmart does get raised.

STOCKLAND KMART PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT

The new proposal launched to the Rocky CC to include underground parking has been approved, and will feature 463 carparks, bringing the total to 3600+ parking spaces. Also to maximise space in the shopping centre, the loading docks for Kmart and Coles are also underground.

Another 10 new shops have been included, make it 75 new shops in total, which will make it approx 230 shops.

All that is left from the outside of the centre



I thought at first this was just a fitout/refurbishment of Kmart Plaza, but they are actually demolishing the whole centre. Kmart and Coles will stay where they are till the end of 2008, and that part of the centre will be demolished when Kmart and Coles move into their new stores

We're not your babysitters!
July 01, 2008


THE most popular meeting spot for teenagers in Rockhampton is suddenly off limits to most of them.

Stockland Rockhampton is cracking down on unruly youths and has warned children under 15 must now be accompanied by an adult or legal guardian.

The notice Stockland handed out to teenagers on Thursday also informed them that groups of four or more people were not allowed to congregate or loiter at the centre.

The move has come under fire from one Rockhampton father, who says his daughter and her friends are the victims of the actions of a small minority of out-of-control teens.

The concerned dad said his daughter, who had just turned 15, was handed a Condition of Entry leaflet on Thursday night and told by a Stockland representative the centre was no longer their "babysitter".

The father said his daughter had been told the entry conditions would be strictly enforced during the school holidays.

"I can understand them wanting to step in because the problem is getting so bad," said the North Rockhampton man, who has not been identified for family reasons.

"I would say while 10% of the kids are causing the problems, the other 90% now have to suffer the consequences."

His daughter said she enjoyed going to the shops with her friends, but there were problems.

"There would be three or four fights every Thursday night," she said.

She said on Thursday a security guard informed her small group that those under 15 had to have an adult or legal guardian with them.

Those aged 16 and 17 had to show ID when asked.

The policy was news to Rockhampton friends Alice Bell, 16, and Thomas Woodfield, 14, yesterday as they made their way into the centre.

Thomas said he thought the ruling was unfair. He said those who hadn't done anything wrong shouldn't be punished.

Alice said she wasn't allowed to go to the centre on a Thursday night.

However, she said on holidays and other days she enjoyed going to the shops and the nearby cinema.

A spokeswoman for Stockland Rockhampton yesterday said the safety and security of all customers, employees and retailers was of paramount importance.

"In light of this, Stockland Rockhampton is currently trialling new Conditions of Entry in response to requests from the community for a safer and more enjoyable shopping experience at the centre," she said.

"Stockland Rockhampton will continue to work with retailers, customers and the broader community to ensure that the centre remains a convenient and safe shopping destination for the residents of Rockhampton," the spokeswoman said.

Stockland Rockhampton’s construction works for its $93 million redevelopment are well underway with local builder JM Kelly undertaking the works.

Stockland has a successful history with JM Kelly, having worked with the builder on the Red Hill Homemaker Centre in 2004 (formerly a Stockland property), followed by the preliminary works in preparation for the redevelopment of Stockland Rockhampton in October 2007.

Stockland’s Regional Manager, Development, James Cousins said:

“JM Kelly were the most appropriate builder for the job given their local expertise and knowledge, not to mention their long affiliation with the centre, having built the original centre in 1985.”

JM Kelly commenced work on the main project in May 2008, preparing the site for the enclosed retail bridge which will link Stockland Rockhampton with Kmart and Coles.

The redeveloped centre will see the addition of Kmart, Coles and approximately 67 specialty stores all on one level. Additional undercover car parking will also be created with the redevelopment.

The redevelopment is expected to open in stages with final completion anticipated for early/mid 2010.

Take a look at the 2 minute presentation supplied on the Stockland website link below

http://www.stockland.com.au/NR/rdonlyres/9B89DFDE-A526-4C66-98D3-C0F66AB2CA99/0/Rockhampton_low.wmv

I so can't wait for this to be complete, its looks really good through the virtual walk. I wonder if Stockland plans to revamp the current Stockland and intergrate the colour and flooring schemes. also the exterior the new part loos really modern whilst the current part is pretty bland considering

:banana:

Thanks for posting that, it looks soooooo awesome and so modern. can't wait till 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This redevelopment will hurt Rockhampton because its too big and there other shopping centres may drop their customers income. You would need a population around 250,000+ in regional area (size of Wollongong City and either Northern Rivers region). Rockhampton region is only 110,000 and its still small for it.

Sorry thats my opinion. Should have wait for another 20 years.

^^ But all the other shopping centres in Rockhampton just consist of a supermarket and about 10 other stores, so this being the only shopping centre of its size/future size, then its pretty much warranted.

Okay Rocky, thats your choice. ;)

Rockhampton City/Regional Council has been working with Stockland over the last 5 years planning this development, so there is no way this is gonna hurt Rocky or any of our other shopping centres, the next size shopping centre from this one has only 36 specialties and 2 majors.

If Yeppoon (20,000 population) has been able to sustain two shopping centres, one with 35 specialties, Woolies and Big W, and another with 30 specialties, Coles, and a future redevelopment to include Target and Kmart, Rocky can definatley handle it.

Stockland stance slammed
July 05, 2008


STOCKLAND Rockhampton has come under fire from leading civil liberties spokesman, Terry O'Gorman, for its policy restricting young teens from entering the popular shopping centre.

Mr O'Gorman, president of the Australian Council for Civil Liberties, said he believed the new policy was discriminatory towards young people.

He said the question had to be asked as to why Stockland had reverted to such heavy-handed tactics and moved away from the sensible policies utilised at all other shopping centres.

Earlier this week, The Morning Bulletin reported Stockland was trialling new Conditions of Entry which included all children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult or legal guardian.

The centre would also not allow loitering or congregating in groups of four or more.

"The onus is on Stockland to demonstrate why the long-standing practices used elsewhere are not working in relation to this particular shopping centre," Mr O'Gorman said.

"As Stockland adopts a strict and discriminatory practice against young people, I urge them to have a re-think."

He said while the company might view the centre as private property, the reality was big shopping centres were seen as public places.

The issue has generated an emotive response from many Rockhampton people.

Rockhampton mum Tracey Sorensen said it was unfair to target all under-15s because a minority had caused trouble.

"As a parent of a 13-year-old daughter, I find Stockland's conditions of entry over the top," Tracey said.

"My daughter and her friends love to go shopping. They enjoy each other's company and seek each others' opinions on their purchases.

"They also combine the shopping with lunch and a movie at the cinema.

"Young people also have an income to spend and Stockland might find its retail profits dip if they impose these rules.

"Sure young children, say under-10s, should be with an adult for safety reasons."

She said Stockland's management had to deal with the troublemakers and leave the other teens alone to spend their money without harassment or restrictions.

Cool, sounds good, do you know where about they are opening in Stockland.

Nando's were originally going to open in Stockland, but it might be somewhere else, i am not sure.

Nando's were originally going to open in Stockland, but it might be somewhere else, i am not sure.

Perhaps to where it was first going to open? The Metro. I've also recently heard that red rooster and Dominoes is heading to Stockland, not sure how true that is but could be a possibility with stand alone buildings outside the centre.

They had a front plage article in the Rockhampton and Fitzroy News about 2 weeks ago, just info on the development etc, and JM Kelly reckon's that "people will be walking across the retail bridge by the end of 2008", so its seems that the retail bridge will be complete by the end of the year.

^^what sort of work were they doing to Big W?

and also yd. will be the first outside of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba has one.

Well I noticed driving in where they sell the plantsits covered up, i went inside and the roof is being taken down and the plants area is closed and says "construction site" so will be interesting to so what is going to happen. It's desperately needs something done.

On another note it looks like alot of stores are trying to make a quick buck before they get booted. I read that Country Living, Pulp Sandwich Bar and the Key cutting place outside Big W are for sale. Looks like there are going to be alot retail changes within the current centre. Looks quite clean in there now too, with repainting floor to ceiling. It's coming along quite nicely

Well that sucks that Pulp Sandwich Bar is leaving, that place has the nicest sandwiches ever!!!

Yeah I agree ^^ but i'm not sure if they will close, I'm just thinking that maybe they are trying to sell it before they get kicked out cause after all it's not a chain. time will tell i guess

not sure if anything has been said about this yet but today at the shops i seen a sign that said something about dicksmith electronic house.... anyone know if there is supposed to be one included in the redevelopment???

haven't heard anything about DSE Powerhouse, where abouts was the sign???

Stockland Security

A local shopping centre will tonight become the first to officially place bans on groups of youths.

Ironically during Youth Week, the Rockhampton Regional Mayor has supported Stockland's call to ban young people loitering in their centre.[/B]
____________
Stockland are gonna lose money for this, as most of their income would come from young people.

Rockhampton's Mayor is a tosser with supporting this also.

the sign was just over from go sushi..

i reckon that ban is pretty stupid although it doesn't affect me :)

what near where Supa IGA was?

It doesn't affect me either, although it wouldn't stop me if I was under 15:lol:

no, that is another one which is just Dick Smith Electronics.

Yeah was there tonight definatley a Dick Smith Powerhouse going in, But i think another big store will go in as well, as Powerhouse wont take up all the space that Super IGA did.

Pulp Sandwich bar is up for sale, as the owners are moving town. and rent was doubled.

lol yah near were supa iga use to be
i work next to that sandwich bar :):)

I doubt Rockhampton in getting a Powerhouse, Cairns is yet to have one, I think one is plenty for the Region of Rockhampton, Although Townsville is going along nicely with Powerhouse and A normal Dicky Smith. lol @ the curfew thing.

Cheers, thanks for the info guys. Aldi is supposed to be in the other half of the store.

Welcome to the forums mate, it's great to see even more people from Rocky on here:banana::pepper::banana::pepper:

Well you never know, it could happen.

maybe they could get rid of the other dicksmith and replace it with that one??

There isnt much difference really, other than the fact PowerHouse is slightly cheaper and sells heaps of Apple Computers.

^^^^ I am afraid of that! At latest technology has Vista everywhere!

will just have to see what goes down:nuts:

yeah i've seen it too, looks like we get something else before Cairns.......lol

The Reject Shop
Stockland Rockhampton (First outside of SEQ)
Opening Mid/Late 2008

Opening In the old IGA area, not sure how that and Powerhouse is moving in with ALDI, that is if we still are getting that, time will tell i guess.

Was at Stockies this afternoon, had big downpour and all the light fittings in the ceiling started to leak water in front of the donut shop in the food court, was quite wierd to witness, water everywhere. It's funny they can spend $90+ million on a redevelopment but can't maintain their current site.

I guess that the Aldi deal fell through:(, the reject shop is better than The Warehouse, thanks for posting that.

and i guess we really don't need another major supermarket in there with Woolies and Coles, the centre hasn't had much luck with a third one, eg Franklins, ACTION and Supa IGA has all been and gone.

I totally agree it's way better then the warehouse, Yeah well that's so true, it's going to be interesting to see how it all works, cause there is nothing about aldi up at all, maybe they plan on placing it elsewhere, perhaps in the new site? Or maybe reconfigruing the old iga area to accomodate it all after all the butcher and bottleshop there is not a national chain, maybe they are going?

Hey Travis. Franklins are gone, they are not going to get more stores throughout Australia due to money problems.

yes i know that, i was talking about all the supermarkets that have been in that shop in Stockland.

Yeah it was, you know what scares me? it was the fact how dangerous things were and people just stood around and watched as cleaners are trying to block off the area, people where taking photos for god sake, god some people in this world need a boot up the ass. So where do u work rhys?

i was wondering through stockland today, and the construction door on The Reject shop side was open. there is a wall straight through the middle of the old IGA site and so only DSE Powerhouse and The Reject Shop going in with Mr Minit somewhere in the middle.

interesting line in the job description.

This position requires you to have the ability to work across a seven day roster which will include late night trade, weekends and public holidays

does this indicate we are getting 7 day trading?

oh, i didn't notice that... possibly!, who knows. i wouldnt mind working there.

stockland rockhampton looks to have been given permission for seven day trading once the renovations are complete

Hell Yeah! from brissy, i miss it ;( but YAY! =]

walked past there today, door of the boarding around was open, it looked nice.

Yeah it looks really upmarket for Rockhampton. Zamel's looks quite nice too, shouldn't be too long before that is open also.

I assume EB Games is closing down soon?

Also a number of clothing stores around Supre look like the may be set to close or renovate, alot of those stores are in need of remodels desperately.

Uh no, including Kmart Plaza it is around 60,000sqm.

Where abouts is Zamel's opening???

what makes you say EB Games is closing down.:)

Zamel's is opening nextdoor to Suna, Well EB Games has had a big sale and there is nothing left in the store bar a few items like half the rear wall, it is nearly bare, hence me thinking that it will be closing.

ZAMEL'S NOW OPEN nextdoor to newly opened SUNA

there was that browny stuff that you use for like cement and things (sorry, do not have a clue what it is called:S), for the supports of the bridge set up yesterday morning.. it was round lol, sorry if i not making much sense

LOWE'S Relocating next to Miller's Fashion Clun, sorry guys thought HMV was opening but it might be going elsewhere. With that now relocating that is going to be quite a wide pedestrian bridge, looks exciting

http://www.werribeeplaza.com/contribute/images/2007_BigW_logo.jpg
New Big W logo signage has now been erected around the outside of the centre.

Big W has no aircon, the cosmetics have been moved back and there's a lot of exposed ceiling matter. Looks like they're really settling in for a huge refit. Suppose they have to make room for the self serves....

I see back in the posts that we're possibly getting a Body Shop. I heard on the grapevine that many years ago (before my time) we had a Body Shop, but it closed down because locals didn't support it. Hopefully this time we'll get behind it, although it would make a lot of those consultants unhappy!

http://i35.tinypic.com/29y1nxy.jpg

JM Kelly has started to rebuild Kmart Plaza, with half of it already completed in 2 months, and work has also just started on the retail bridge across Moores Creek, looks like we can see this first stage finished by the end of 2008 or early 2009.:)

Mister Minit looks like it is going to open by end of the working week. Walked past it today and they are putting all theri stock in. BIG W is coming along well I see, lowering of roof and aircon coming along nicely. Walls starting to go up on new section, looks like it is going to be quite spacious

i haven't actuallly been in big w the last week but looks interesting from the outside.
outside on the bridge construction, it is really moving along by the looks of things. i will try and get some pics next week to put up on here.

Touch Screen Directories now installed at Stockland Rockhampton

http://i35.tinypic.com/2z7kh7m.jpg

Now installed at BIG W - Self serve registers

finally.

Fusion Clothing - must be closed for refit, not sure as to whether it is or they have closed down as there is no signage up to say whats going on? I can't see that place closing though, way to popular

The Reject Shop looks set to open next week, walked past there today and shop front is visible, stock starting to go in. Quite odd on how it is built though, there is an odd part to the side that is wasted space. Fusion also looks set to unveil its new look. I also notieced that Stockies is starting to mordernise the exterior, ie, paintind the walla at the rear near rhe cinemas and planting out some greenery.

The colour on the side of the cinemas is disgusting IMO, but I guess it is better than the creamy colour over the whole building. They are taking their time opening the Reject Shop, it has been a couple of months, also whats happening with Powerhouse, are they open yet or what.

I totally agree, the colours are quite odd but yes it is better. still looks like they are opening, i reckon in the next few weeks. I personally think that they will be building shops in the link part soon. There are meant to be a few stores opening end of next month. I think they wiill build either side up to the end of the building. Thats my opinion

Yeah they are absolutely flying along with the construction of the new Kmart/Coles half, I can believe has fast they have erected the walls and everything, I am hoping to get some photos this week since I am not working:)

The employee's of the reject shop have been around for a few weeks, said to have been setting up the shop, and they told me they open on the 25th of this month, which is tomorrow. Cool.

I just went into the reject shop with some friends, its pretty cool, and the new blue paint on the wall opposite sizzler is nice. good construcion on he new bridge for the other side of the creek

Yeh Reject shop is great. Its sorta odd though. looks smaller then it should be, you think back to IGA it was alot further back begind the camera store, this store isn't I assume there stock room is out the back which means where did that extra space go, I might be wrong here but it just seems it. Powerhouse musnt be that far away alot of banging and stuff this arvo

^^Supa IGA used to go back behind the camera store and the two stores between the camera store and Best and Less.

it is odd the size..

^^Supa IGA used to go back behind the camera store and the two stores between the camera store and Best and Less.


I thought so, like i said in an earlier post the odd wasted space beside the reject shop and the camera shop is odd, still painted bright green and purple, i wonder if the camera shop is going and they are putting in something larger in size, another shop perhaps?

A Massive DickSmithPowerhouse is going in there, my dad's company has got the job to construct it all, so to answer your question Rockvegas, it will start contruction soon

A massive Dicksmith heyy! Somehow I dont get what the rant is over "The Reject Shop" its worse then the Warehouse or Crazy Clarks for that matter.

We are just stating the size of shop, theres no ranting about the shop in general. Although it is the first outside SEQ area, sorry no ranting.

http://www.stockland.com.au/Retail/QLD/Regional/StocklandRockhampton/Stores/

^^^^ I don't see anything new.

How would you know, you have probably never been to this shopping centre

And dick smith and reject shop are now listed there too

Ahh adding those two stores on that map and list. So why have to put the map on this forums for? The map hasn't changed at all until it completed the project.

It has changed. they added the stores to the list and map.. and why do you lurk in these forums? have you ever been to regional qld?

BSD "lurks" in these/Regional Queensland forums as stated on numerous occasions that he is looking at moving to Townsville temporally for uni, obviously he's doing some back round research on the area in general, as you would, if you were making the move north. Its pretty obvious mate, do the sums, cut the guy some slack.

K then.

That Map hasn't changed in it's shape! Only two stores i can see thats new. The map cannot change to public until the project completes.

Yes i do, i have been to regional Qld. I been along Bruce Hwy north of Brisbane towards Mission Beach several years ago.

Does it really matter that the map hasn't changed in shape, no one said it had, all rockhampton.c.qld was saying was that the news stores were added and that there is a gap for where the bridge expansion is going to be, can we just get over it now.

here i have a pic of the construction so far...

foreground is the bbridge part, and background is the floor for the new kmart and the walls further back in the pic. hope yous can see what i mean!
http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6485/img00051ot8.jpg

sorry about the size but it does give you a pretty good look at it so far. i think :lol:

thanks for that:)

Thanks heaps. I keep forgetting to take photo's when I'm in the area!

are they demolishing whats left of the old kmart plaza? or keeping it =/

I'm thinking they will keep it, but i dont care if they demolish it, any way.. give us a new shopping centre!

haha, well only half new :P and all in good time. the little road bridge in some of the renders is also nearly done too.

are they demolishing whats left of the old kmart plaza? or keeping it =/

they are demolishing it and rebuilding after Kmart and Coles have moved into their new stores, it will be included in the stage two of the redevelopment.

Were are they moving to? Why, so they can re-do that part of the store?

Were are they moving to? Why, so they can re-do that part of the store?

The new part that is currently under construction is where Kmart, Coles and the 30 specialty stores will move int 08/09.

They will be demolishing the part where Kmart and Coles are located now after the new year and will rebuild that section from scratch.

Oh kay, i dont use those shops, but i just hought they would of had to shut down for a while.. thanks

i overheard my boss and the owner of the pulp sandwich bar talking about the redevelopment, and they were told that mcdonalds is to be included in it? and pulp is not up for sale anymore, or whatever it was lol.

When they did that report of Fast Food Outlets on WIN TV a few weeks ago, they said that there was to be a 24 hour McDonald's with a drive thru to be opened on the site.

God, how many more fast food outlets do we need.

speaking of mcdonalds and totally off subject, but the maccas over northside glenmore is crap. bad service, very slow. has anyone else noticed this?

I don't go to Maccas any more, I hate the stuff, but last time I was there, the food was shit, and the hot chocolate I ordered tasted like it had hardly any chocolate in it, it was disgusting.

Isn't the food court in part of Stockland expansion?

Did you go? it was so great! reaaaal nice inside, quite big i must add! Hope we get a Tandy in the future, maybe to replace the current Dick Smith on Musgrave

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/Dick-smith-brand.png
I am just wondering, is the store a Dick Smith Powerhouse, or the new rebranded version of Powerhouse named "Dick Smith: Talk to the Techxperts" which will eventually replace the existing Powerhouse stores anyway.

I believe it is the later of what you said, I went there yesterday and bought some stuff and was given a powerhouse bag so I assume yes it is a powerhouse but rebranded like you suggested. In saything all this what will happen to the existing store, what a silly idea to have two of them so close to one another

Its a powerhouse alright :) with all the MacBooks and what not

So does the shop say Dick Smith: Talk to the Techxperts? Because that is what the coming soon sign at the Cairns DFO says.

Yeah, the sign for stockland says the logo RV posted

I HATE STOCKLAND ROCKHAMPTON :)!!! BigW is Glitzy though. I spoke to the lady at Dick Smith, Apparently it isnt a Powerhouse, due to its limited range, The store doesnt sell CD's and has limited stock. There are only 4 apple computers for sale aswell and all laptops.

It's not that bad....it has potential....Big W and Woolies are really modern though, they look good. Did you get any photos of the redevelopment?.....instead of I HATE STOCKLAND ROCKHAMPTON....you should just change it to Rockhampton in general lol.

Any news about any further tenants for Stockland? I have heard a few rumours. Happy New Year to all and lets start counting down till this baby is open

Great plans, looks good. One question though some of the elevations are as though they are inline with the ground, as we know the centre now has undercover parking, does this mean that the designs would be differnet or would they be similar but higher up?

:ohno: Mackay has to go and take away rockys thunder by expanding canelands even bigger. 38000sqm to 66000sqm. however uz get to enjoy urs first, when is it due to open?
I dont think they've yet to confirm Canelands at 66,000Sqm. I know Cairns Cental is 52,000sqm, Stockland Townsville currently 56,000sqm and once developed looking at well over 80,000sqm. This probably isnt the relevent thread but if Canelands is still in planning stages I cant see Myer opening in 2011, either it will be a much watered downed proposal or you'll wait a few more years.

"Halves of one of two qld biggest shopping centres"

Roflmao media hoax!

Why is a media hoax????

It will be Queensland's largest shopping centre between Cairns and the Sunshine Coast.

Stockland Townsville currently is only 32,439sqm, not 56,000sqm.

Because the kmart plaza wasnt one of largest centres in qld lol. Kmart plaza and Stockland together make as a largest centre.

If you read it properly it says two halves of one centre, they are both classed as the one centre together it will be one of the largest centres. so how is that a media hoax?

It's BSD, he doesnt know what hes saying, he cant be bothered to read much; and structure his sentences properly

lol canelands is currently bigger then stocklands townsville lol. and no they havent confirmed but i work at canelands and the developement planes actually say 72000 sqm

mick87 dude!,lets all get back to the program, this sub forum is about stockland ROCKHAMPTON not stocky tville or that other local non multi national shopping centre in mackay........ caneland is a great centre though! dose deserve its own forum.

Don't talk to him like that when you don't know what thread he is in, not sub form.

mick87, no worries, taking for everrrrrrr to roll on,just finished the bridge linking the two seperate sites together. currently canelands kicks its ass in my opinion but will be different story when done.

Yeah like stormseven said it is progessing well, I noticed that the exterior metal sheeting is starting to go up it looks really nice, clean and very modern shame about the disgusting bright colours they have used to brighten up the existing centre

how can i start a canelands thread, cause i have a better idea for its expansion that would cost them less and give the comunity good place for markets instead of closing main st of town on sunday morning

i wish the shop i work in could be moved into the redevelopment it is so small and crowded

Where do you work, rhys?

pizza pasta plus in the food court. its probably the smallest shop in the center. well close to it.

love it there =]

boost is probs smaller

prolly but they dont really have a kitchen and shit. so do you buy from where i work?

occasionally, but i havent since like; november

NO WAY!!! KRISPY KREME??? OPORTO NANDO's WOW BUT SERIOUSLY NO WAY REALLY?

Be a sweet heart and find out what's planned for Townsville other then Myer :)

What McDonald's Express do? How different to actual McDonalds?

its a booth type shop or a counter front shop,not a walk into and sit down shop. the shopping cntr has its own sit down seating (food court)thats the only diff.

Ahh ks so thats pretty much same to Lismore Square foodcourt Maccas.

so, the maccas will be outside, but just have a counter, and seats outside?

i think it will be inside, like the maccas at canelands.

The express maccas at canelands is poorly positioned and not big enough to serve all the fat cunts that are always shopping, go to it anytime between 10am and 3pm and theres always 20-50 people lined up, its ridiculous. i think the government should limit places to 1 macdonalds per 100 000 residents.

thats sweet as, ive always reckoned that'd be cool to have a maccas in the shops. just like brissy and stuff lol

some US towns with 800 people have a maccas.

^^^^

Maccas support anything what is busy like tourism, population etc.

yeah theres maccas in servos on the highway in the middle of the desert in america. and a town with 12 people that is serviced by a macdonalds and a kfc. was on mtv

Be a sweet heart and find out what's planned for Townsville other then Myer :)

And also where is interior shot of the centre? I dont get it! Troll perhaps?

These are certain, you sure your information is correct?

Full article in today's Morning Bulletin. Stockland is still tightlipped about future stores but the Bulletin has done some of its own research and came up with the following

Locked In:
McDonalds - Not an express like stated above, will be a stand alone building outside K-Mart in the carpark
Yd.
Roger David
Tarocash
Th Coffee Club
The Body Shop
Valley Girl

Denied:
Aldi
Krispy Kream Donuts
Holy Sheet - Thank god, hope this paves the way for JB Hifi to open, we are all aware that they plan on coming to Rockhampton in 2009, this frees up on mini major, fingers crossed

Pending:
Michael's Pattiserie - Most likely will be included, I know the owner of the Yeppoon store and they have the rights to the Stockland store also
Sumo Salad
Red Rooster- Likely also, mate of mine is a manager and told me that one was going in
Rebel Sport

Then hes a troll!

Who know's....

Then hes a troll!

Pretty boring shops that are confimed, even pending! And only 58 new stores.

I thought it was supposed to be the biggest centre between Maroochydore & Townsville, not Cairns?

I thought it was supposed to be the biggest centre between Maroochydore & Townsville, not Cairns?

It has always been speculated as the biggest centre between the SS Coast and Cairns.

Only 58 shops in the stage that is opening this year. the other 20-25 will be open in the 2nd stage in 2010.

how many retailers all up are planned for the end result?

It has always been speculated as the biggest centre between the SS Coast and Cairns.

oh ok, my mistake

how many retailers all up are planned for the end result?

Well after the first stage is open this year there will be 58 or so like stated above, after that they will be going on with the second stage which should see some of the mini majors and remainding stores going in, the reason for the second stage is because they have to demolish the existing K-mart plaza and then build on that site. this should bring the total to 75 or so, after completion we're looking at close to 220+ stores

and what should the total floor size be in the end? Bigger then the canelands redovelopment of 67500 sqm ?

and what should the total floor size be in the end? Bigger then the canelands redovelopment of 67500 sqm ?

No I think it will be around the 60.000 m2 mark but I'm unsure whether that factors in the stand alone buildings that will surround the centre. Has canelands actually been approved yet?

Or designed, its only word of mouth that it'll be 67500 sqm, I haven't read anywhere that backs up the claims. Seems strange, Only the 3rd McDonalds in Rockhamtpon, There are at least 7 in Townsville I can think of, off the top of my head.
