Belmont Forum Shopping Centre

LIKE Perth's CBD, the suburban shopping centre landscape has been defined in 2009 by an abundance of new retail space becoming available to the market.

DEVELOPERS and shopping centre owners are making significant investments to capitalise on the state government’s Activity Centres planning policy.

ARCHITECTURE firm Hames Sharley was recognised at this year’s Property Council of Australia/Rider Levett Bucknall WA Innovation & Excellence Awards for its work on 100 St Georges Terrace/Enex100.

Supermarket giant Aldi has confirmed its first Western Australian shops will open on June 8, at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City, Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre, Kwinana Marketplace and Belmont Forum Shopping Centre.

Aldi continues to gear up for the June opening of its first four Perth stores, with its $60 million distribution centre in Jandakot receiving stock and Western Australian producers lining up to supply the fast-growing supermarket chain.

Aldi has opened its first four Perth stores to much fanfare across the city, ending a three-year-plus wait for the German supermarket chain to touch down in Western Australia.

Notching up 15 years in business, and managing more than $1.1 billion in combined retail rents for clients over that time, is a significant achievement in any industry.

One of the state’s largest property holders, Perron Group, has appointed former Cedar Woods Properties managing director Paul Sadleir to its board.
