A 24-hour petrol station, expanded retail space and changes to traffic and parking are among the latest details revealed in revised plans for Strathalbyn’s shopping centre development.
Catcorp Holdings is seeking approval to vary the existing consent for the site at Hampden Way, which already includes plans for a supermarket, eight specialty shops, a McDonald’s restaurant and bulky goods outlets.
The proposed changes include a Pearl Energy fuel outlet with eight bowsers, located in the north-eastern corner of the site and operating around the clock.
The bulky goods outlet would also be relocated to the southern pad site and expanded to about 1,828 square metres, accommodating three tenancies.
The revised plans include four additional car parking spaces, taking the total to 276, with 19 spaces allocated to the proposed fuel station.
A traffic assessment estimates the changes would generate an additional 82 vehicle movements during the morning peak hour and 74 during the afternoon peak, compared with the previously approved development.
Noise-reducing fencing, reaching up to four metres in sections, is also proposed along parts of the development boundary. An acoustic assessment commissioned for the application predicts noise levels would meet relevant criteria with the recommended measures in place.
The proposal also includes new signage and changes to the site’s stormwater arrangements.
The original shopping centre development has planning consent, but the proposed variations still require approval.
Community members can view the revised plans and make submissions through the PlanSA portal, with consultation closing on Friday the 27th of November 2026.
