Justin Madden approves $80 million Ringwood Market development

The former Ringwood Market site in Bond St.The State Government has given a $80 million retail and office development on the former Rignwood Market site the green light.

Planning Minister Justin Madden announced earlier this morning that he had approved the three-building retail and office plan.

Mr Madden said the development would create up to 110 construction jobs and further 960 ongoing jobs.

“Investment in Ringwood Central Activities District also highlights the confidence that the development industry has in our strong economy,’’ he said.

The development was approved earlier this year by Maroondah Council but the owners of the neighbouring Ringwood Square shopping centre lodged an appeal at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

In July, Mr Madden called in the project, and took submissions from all parties at the VCAT hearing before making his decision.

Construction on the site, which is owned by QIC Global Real Estate, is expected to start early next year.

The site, which is opposite the QIC-owned Eastland complex, has been flouted as a possible location for Melbourne’s second Costco warehouse.
