A NEW major shopping centre for Springfield Lakes which is planned to include an automatic car wash and service station has been given the tick of approval by the council almost three years after plans were first submitted.
Taree Property Pty Ltd submitted a development application to Ipswich City Council in the middle of 2018 to build the centre at 11 Grande Avenue.
It was approved by the council last year but the applicant submitted a notice outlining a dispute or difference in relation to the decision notice. Approved plans for Springfield Lakes Shopping Village.
“The applicant’s representations generally related to amending the hours of operation to permit 24/7 operation of the development, submission of revised proposal plans that included additional building treatments and submission of additional technical information relating to connection to the future the Springfield Greenbank Arterial footpath,” the council said.
