The new Mambourin Marketplace is on track to be completed by the end of the year according to the site’s developer.

The new $60 million shopping centre will feature approximately 7500 sqm of retail space including a Coles supermarket, up to 25 specialty stores including fresh food, an Indian grocer, cafes, general services, beauty stores and specialty food catering.

A gym, pharmacy and medical centre will round out the centre, which site developer Frasers Property Australia said is already more than 90 per cent leased.

The centre’s slabs have been poured, with most of the walls also up and the Coles roof now underway ahead of an anticipated opening in the final quarter of this year.

A landscaped urban plaza will link Mambourin Marketplace with the future Mambourin Town Centre, which is proposed to encompass 25,000 sqm upon completion.

The plaza will include a children’s play area, community artwork, al fresco dining spots, events space and an ‘end-of-trip cycling facilities’ with bike storage, showers and change rooms.

Roadworks within the town centre are also nearing completion, with a new signalised intersection at Delama Boulevard and Black Forest Road operational.

The centre will service residents of Mambourin, as well as the newly launched sister community Mambourin Green, along with the wider west.

Retail development director Thomas Rethati said the high demand to lease sites at the new shopping centre meant retailers had confidence in the area’s potential.

“We know Mambourin Marketplace was an important factor for many residents who chose to buy in Mambourin, and we also know it will bring customers from the wider area too, so it wasn’t difficult to attract high quality tenants for the centre,” he said.
