The development application, submitted to the City of Moreton Bay, proposes a 2000sqm supermarket, six specialty stores, four food and beverage outlets, and a central mall.
Designed by Architecture HQ, it also outlines plans for a welcoming public space featuring an indoor–outdoor dining hub and a pedestrian-friendly main street designed to encourage connection and social interaction.
The proposal includes a linked pedestrian network that ties into existing footpaths, with seating provided along the way to create a comfortable, walkable environment that promotes physical activity. The site would feature 191 car parks, 20 bicycle spaces, and a new bus stop on Beerburrum Rd, along with a road connection to Soldier Rd.
Council documents say the project will “fill an identified existing gap” in the area’s retail options, with the centre expected to cover just under half of the 8.82-hectare site.
“The shopping centre will include a supermarket, retail uses, and food and drink outlets and will fill an identified existing gap in the market. The overall site layout enhances connectivity across the wider area, with a new bus stop proposed on Beerburrum Road, as well as a road connection through to Soldier Road,” planners added.
A community engagement report shows local support is strong, with residents keen for a major supermarket chain, takeaways, a bakery and a coffee shop. Many also welcomed the chance to shop closer to home, the promise of new jobs, and potential improvements to public transport.
“Of the feedback received, there was general support for the creation of jobs of locals, dining and shopping options, a place for people to meet and hang out, retention of vegetation, and provision of a supermarket,” planners said.

“The concerns raised during community engagement regarding potential traffic on Beerburrum Road, potential flood mitigation, and scale of the development have been further addressed by the proposed layout which provides dual access to Beerburrum Road and Soldier Road, ensures that the development area avoids area of flood risk, and proposes a reduced overall scale and footprint.”
If approved, Rose Creek Village would trade seven days a week from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
