PLANS to build a new Woolworths in Chelsea Heights have been approved. The Woolworths is planned for 1-23 Wells Road, on the former site of the Mitre 10 building. Plans to build it were previously approved by VCAT despite Kingston Council opposition.

An updated proposal, which featured a smaller shopping centre and the retention of the existing Dan Murphy’s building, was later submitted to VCAT and approved this month. A statement from Kingston Council read “our officers supported the new design that included a reduction to the supermarket size, cutting back retail space, keeping the existing Dan Murphy’s bottle shop, and improvements to the landscaping plan.”

The proposed Woolworths building has been reduced from 3600 square metres to 3346. Council’s previous opposition to the plan centred around the proposal’s proximity to a gaming venue.
