The winner of Urban Taskforce Australia’s Retail Development Award is Chatswood East Shopping Centre by Fabcot Pty Ltd.
Chair of the DEA Judging Panel, Chris Johnson AM made the following comments about the project:
“Woolworths bought this site in an industrial zone 11 years ago and had to pay $6 million on public roads as part of their DA approval. The supermarket has already achieved its 10 year forecast showing the long planning time led to a good result. The design allows lots of natural light into the centre and the roof has significant solar panels.”
