With whispers of supermarket chain ALDI hoping to open a new store in Mackay by the end of 2022, a lack of development on the earmarked site has residents asking questions.
The German retailer lodged an application with Mackay Regional Council earlier this year to build a new store in the Andergrove Lakes precinct on a vacant block between Cutler Drive, Beaconsfield Road East and Superior Boulevard.
Mackay Regional Council Development Services Director Aletta Nugent says council is committed to supporting ALDI with their development.
“Council continues to work with ALDI and is providing them with support in relation to their operational works applications for this site,” she said.
“We hope this process can be finalised soon and ALDI will be able to provide the community with an update on when construction can take place.”
ALDI had no further updates to provide.
“ALDI continually looks for opportunities to expand into new locations,” a statement read.
“While Mackay is an area of interest, ALDI has no updates to share at this point in time.”
