Will this make Karrinyup the largest in Perth, ahead of Carousel?

[ConnarO]

Second biggest.

There would probably be some overlap with EG/Caltex and Ampol stations nearby each other that could raise some concern by the ACCC, if a takeover offer by Ampol happens to be confirmed.

I dont think the deal will get approval

@Pranks

I’m not sure what Ampol means for any Woolworths deal, in that it could be void.

Ampol has a separate agreement with Woolworths, hence you can pick up EDR points at the company owned non-EG Caltex/Ampol sites, as well as redeem the WW 4c discount at 200 participating locations (including the Ampol WW Metro locations).

Ampol also has another agreement with the former Woolworths Caltex business (currently owned and operated by EG).

Ampol are currently in court with EG over the agreement between EG and Ampol, although it was also reported that EG could sign up an agreement with Chevron a.k.a Caltex USA (instead of exiting the Australian market) if they are able to get the courts to void their agreement with Ampol.

Also, I still keen to re-see plans for other Major Western Australian shopping malls such as Cockburn and Morley. I also hope that we all get to see the Booragoon plans in the next 3 to 6 months.

Cockburn plans to redevelop once the Armadale Road, Beeliar Drive and North Lake Road upgrades are completed.

Vicinity won’t put the money up to redevelop Galleria Morley.

Scentre haven’t committed to Booragoon at this stage. I think Scentre should sell Innaloo and invest more into Booragoon. The Westfield Stirling plans for Innaloo were massively ambitious given Karrinyup is only 4km away.

The big 4 in Perth used to be Carousel, Morley, Garden City and Karrinyup. Now it’s Carousel, Karrinyup, Joondalup and Garden City. Just outside the big 4, honourable mentions to Midland Gate and Cockburn.

What’s the issue with Morley?

[Squee]

Vicinity can’t afford major redevelopment of any property when they lost a couple billion dollars last year. Not specific to Morley.

They might go ahead wtih Box Hill, but that’s because they can sell high rise apartments and integration with the SRL

[Troiboi]

Ahh makes sense. Shame, it really needs it.

[MelbTV]

Broadmeadows Central in Melbourne’s North needs a redevelopment by Vicinity. In fact, just bulldoze the place and start again. Might be cheaper that way.

I think the Bigw left in that mall. Anything replaced it? Must be about half dozen Bigw sites still unoccupied.

I don’t know. I try to avoid that centre at all cost when I’m in the area.

I felt safer in the malls throughout some of the dodgy areas of LA vs Broady.

[Radiohead]

Eddie Everywhere would like to have a word with you.

[SydneyCityTV]

Somehow, I’m going to guess that the Melbourne-based Media Spy members who feel uncomfortable at Broadmeadows Central probably won’t ever want to visit Bankstown Central (located in the suburb which seems to be our equivalent of Broadmeadows) in South Western Sydney…

I see Event Cinemas are renovating the Innaloo cinemas. I believe a new cinema building was a part of the original Westfield Stirling plans.

Logan/Bankstown/Broadmeadows.

What’s the Adelaide and Perth equivalent?

I feel uncomfortable about this sort of profiling. I’ve been to Bankstown recently and I don’t think there’s anything unsafe about that shopping centre.
