Australian developer Time and Place has joined with Woolworths with plans to build a new retail and residential town centre at 193 to 199 Rocky Point Road, Ramsgate.
If approved, the project will comprise 170 apartments in three towers of six, eight and nine-storeys, a Woolworths supermarket, 20 speciality shops and eating outlets, and a community plaza.
There will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments that will be aimed at first home buyers and local residents wanting to downsize, according to the Time and Place website.
The taller residential buildings will be located closer to Rocky Point Road, to maximise solar access into neighbouring homes and the public plaza.
Residential buildings, above ground floor retail, have been set back to ensure the building presents well within the context of the neighbourhood.
There will be parking for 300 cars.
The site is located on Ramsgate's main street, fronting 193 - 199 Rocky Point Road, 66 - 68 Ramsgate Road and 2 - 6 Targo Road, Ramsgate.
The project will create around 100 jobs during construction, and around 300 ongoing retail jobs once complete.
"Our plans include around 20 specialty stores, which could include shops, services, cafes, or restaurants. We will work with retail specialists and the community, to ensure that the shops and services provided in our future plans create a unique local shopping destination for the community," Time and Place states.
TIme and Place aim to lodge a Planning Proposal with Georges River Council in late 2021 seeking approval for a site master plan to guide the future development of the site.
A further development application will be assessed by the council in 2023.
The developers will hold a community webinar to share early plans for the site.
The community will be able to meet with the project team to discuss the proposal and share our views.
