A SHOPPING centre has been proposed for a central Palmwoods block opposite the Hotel and SPAR supermarket.

The new proposal is a scaled down version of a previously approved application, minus the residential aspect. 

The new application was lodged by Burnett Street Nominees Pty Ltd last week for an integrated shopping centre covering land in Church Street,  Main Street and Hill Street, Palmwoods.

The application states the proposed development “responds appropriately to the site’s Local Centre zoning designations and is considered an appropriate outcome for the subject land and Palmwoods township”.

It says a shopping centre would provide “convenience retail facilities for the local community that  are not currently available.

“The proposed development is of a form and character that is consistent with and enhances the pre-eminent built-form character of the Palmwoods township. The building design has incorporated key elements of the existing townscape character through the retention and reuse of existing character elements currently on site (i.e. existing bluestone walls, Station Masters House and Night Officers Quarters).”
