In a recent social media post, the Lancini Property Group shared their excitement, stating, “Over the coming weeks and months look out for the site to really start to take shape with concrete pouring now underway and construction of the roof planned to begin around August.”
Situated at the corner of Buckley and Uhlmann roads, Burpengary East Shopping Centre will feature a full-line Woolworths supermarket as its anchor tenant, supported by 12 specialty stores. The design and amenities of the centre are tailored to meet the needs of the community, including:
- Al fresco dining area
- Children’s play space
- 238 car spaces
- Landscaped plaza and community meeting place
- Centre amenities, including a Parent’s Room and disabled facilities.
- Free Centre Wi-Fi
The Woolworths store will offer a Direct to Boot drive-through service, allowing customers to have their groceries picked, packed, and delivered directly to their cars by Woolworths staff.
The construction and subsequent operation of the shopping centre are expected to create approximately 260 jobs, significantly boosting the local economy. The centre will also offer opportunities for new businesses and services, with proposed spaces for food and beverage operators, retail services, and health or wellbeing services.
Accessibility and Traffic Management
Lancini Property Group has proposed access arrangements designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing local road network. In collaboration with the Moreton Bay Regional Council, improvements and upgrades to the intersection will be made to ensure efficient traffic flow and safe access for all users.
