Mambourin locals and residents in the West Melbourne growth corridor will soon enjoy the convenience of a full-line Coles supermarket at Mambourin Marketplace, in the heart of Frasers Property Australia’s new masterplanned Mambourin community. Maben Group has been appointed to deliver the centre with work having already commenced on site and the occasion marked with a sod-turning ceremony.

The $60 million Mambourin Marketplace will feature approximately 7,500m2 of retail space anchored by a full-line Coles supermarket with Click & Collect offering and up to 25 specialty stores.

“The leasing campaign for Mambourin Marketplace has kicked into full gear,” says Sarah Bloom, General Manager Development Victoria, Frasers Property Australia.

“To secure Coles as the major supermarket at Mambourin Marketplace speaks volumes for the growth potential and future prosperity of this growing community,” said Bloom.

“With construction underway, it’s full steam ahead with delivering Mambourin Town Centre for our community and beyond.

“Mambourin Marketplace will house a curated mix of dining choices, specialty shops, and important services including health and wellbeing providers, to become the social heart of the community, where residents can access everything they need day to day, enjoy social experiences, and meet with friends and family.

“It adds up to an exciting opportunity for retailers, including local concepts, wanting to be part of something special, and for those with a flair for hospitality, opportunities remain for food and beverage operators to complement the centre’s dining precinct,” she said.

Coles Head of Leasing for Victoria, Tim Roberts, said the new Coles supermarket will provide a convenient shopping experience for Mambourin residents and those in the surrounding suburbs, whether they choose to shop in-store or online.

“This is an exciting opportunity for Coles to deliver an enhanced shopping experience for our customers in this growth area,” he said.

Mambourin Marketplace is the first stage of a Town Centre retail precinct planned to ultimately comprise around 25,000m2 of retail space and upon completion will potentially adjoin the proposed train station and local business district, as well as proposed community facilities and a proposed new school.

A landscaped urban plaza will include a children’s play space, community artwork, and events space. The offering will also include end-of-trip cycling facilities, bike storage, showers and change rooms.

The Council-approved masterplan for the retail precinct includes a proposed childcare centre, petrol station, and fast-food restaurants on Black Forest Road.

Designed by award-winning architect Clarke Hopkins Clarke, Mambourin Marketplace will be a 5-Star Green Star environmentally conscious designed building.

With the proposed new train station and the Good News Lutheran College P-12 Campus anticipated to open by 2025 and the coming arrival of Coles, the complete picture of the future Mambourin Town Centre is clear, with an anticipated opening date of Q3 in 2025.
