Australia's Largest Homemaker Centre Set to be Developed in Springvale, Melbourne

AUSTRALIA’s biggest Homemaker Centre will be developed in the outer south-east suburb of Melbourne, not far from Autralia’s biggest shopping centre, Chadstone.

The 80,000 square metre $286 million facility will include about 20 stores including Melbourne’s second IKEA, and a Harvey Norman store.

The project was “called in” – effectively approved – by the Planning Minister Justin Madden last Friday, along with a 38-level apartment building and hotel in Box Hill, and another apartment tower in Southbank.

Probuild will build the Springvale project, which is due for construction next year.

City of Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti told Dandenong’s Star News the development would help foster business growth and development in the region, and also highlight business and employment opportunities available in the area.
