Region Group’s focus over the past 12 months and looking forward will continue to be unlocking value through a targeted investment strategy across a pipeline of centres.
The active pipeline sees an investment of more than $30 million across three community centres. A further 20 centres with investment opportunities are currently being assessed.
Region Group’s ambition to support better communities through life’s essentials underpins the focus of each of these active projects and the future pipeline.
The first tranche of repositioning projects is currently in the detailed design phase, and all are scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2025.
Lavington Square, located in Lavington, a northern suburb of Albury, NSW, is a sub-regional shopping centre with the only Big W within a 70km radius.
The investment will transform Lavington Square into a vibrant community space featuring a revitalised food hub with expanded seating, the introduction of a new kid’s play area, and an enhanced curation of essential retail.
Pakenham Central Marketplace is a sub-regional shopping centre anchored by Woolworths and Big W and complemented by 32 specialty stores.
The investment will deliver an expanded central hub area catering to families through an enhanced food offer, additional areas to dwell, space for community activation, a new kids play area and improved centre ambience and amenity.
Miami One is located on the Gold Coast Highway, situated between Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach, Queensland.
