An extension to Manor Lakes Central shopping centre is set to include 26 new speciality stores and a gym.
Tender applications for stage two work at the Ballan Road centre closed last month. A description of the tender documents says that in addition to the 26 new speciality tenancies and gym, the extension will include a new large-format national retailer.
About 506 new carparks will also be constructed at the centre, bringing the total number of vehicle spaces available to about 860.
The plans include road and infrastructure work at Ballan Road to create a signalised intersection, along with work at Manor Lakes Boulevard to create an intersection leading into the centre.
Planned landscaping includes internal and external play areas, plus the provision of a shared path from the centre to Wyndham Vale train station.
In 2017, Star Weekly reported that the then-proposed extension of the shopping centre would see it triple in size from 6443 square metres to about 18,868 square metres.
The centre is owned by Ranfurlie Developments, the retail and commercial arm of Dennis Family Corporation.
At the time, Ranfurlie Developments chief executive Mark Wilson said stage two was expected to generate about 386 new full-time and part-time jobs.
