$40M RETAIL CENTRE AT STONY RISE

- DAMITA LAMONT

A $40M neighbourh­ood retail centre will be developed in Devonport by 2024, amid strong investment and job growth in the wider area.

Stony Rise Village will sit on a 3.3ha site at the corner of Stony Rise Rd and Friend St, adjacent to the Devonport Homemaker Centre, in the suburb of Stony Rise.

Tipalea Partners has acquired the site, formerly owned by Bunnings, and constructi­on is expected to start next year, creating about 200 jobs during constructi­on and more than 500 jobs once it opens.

Stony Rise Village will provide everyday shopping facilities to the growing communitie­s in Stony Rise, Miandetta and further south, including a Coles or Woolworths full-line supermarke­t, convenienc­e stores and food outlets.

“High-quality, convenient retail is long overdue and desperatel­y needed in Devonport,” Tipalea Partners chief executive Scott Spanton said.

Tipalea Partners is also building the Glebe Hill Village shopping centre at Howrah.
