Coombs-Wright Village block released for auction with fewer sale conditions

The SLA said updated commercial advice and analysis indicated that mandating a large amount of retail floor space could result in vacant tenancies and an inactive streetfront. “As the precinct grows and demand strengthens, adaptable frontages can accommodate transition to full commercial use over time,” it said. Mr Adam said the community was told this would be a village centre at which to eat, shop, live and play. “That was the brief they signed off on. At the 11th hour, the public listing has traded it for a vague gesture at ground-floor retail,” he said.
