Issues<br />
• None, providing the centre can maintain its tenancy<br />
mix.<br />
Opportunities<br />
• Support continued operation.<br />
Issues<br />
• High vacancy rate, low quality <strong>of</strong> tenants.<br />
• Catchment limited by Princes Highway, railway line<br />
and Rose Avenue local centre to the north.<br />
• Design no longer meets modern retail standards.<br />
• Population base insufficient to support the exiting<br />
levels <strong>of</strong> floorspace.<br />
Opportunities<br />
• Rationalise amount <strong>of</strong> leasable floor space.<br />
• Redevelop to comprise a small number <strong>of</strong><br />
convenience shops with balance <strong>of</strong> site sue for other<br />
uses, possibly higher density residential or community<br />
uses; or<br />
• Redevelop this centre and Rose Avenue and establish<br />
new local centre in a location that is central to the<br />
catchment (eg Sparks Road).<br />
Issues<br />
• Suffers from a limited catchment and having limited<br />
exposure to passing trade.<br />
• Vacancies likely to continue in current role and format.<br />
Opportunities<br />
• Rationalise amount <strong>of</strong> leasable floor space.<br />
• Redevelop to comprise a small number <strong>of</strong><br />
convenience shops with balance <strong>of</strong> site sue for other<br />
uses, possibly higher density residential or community<br />
uses; or<br />
• Redevelop this centre and Labuan Square and<br />
establish new local centre in a location that is central<br />
to the catchment (eg Sparks Road).<br />
