Mirvac, the owners of Cherrybrook Shopping Village, have put in a DA to Hornsby Council to upgrade and expand the existing shopping centre. The development will increase the size by 6,599 sqm of commercial floor space and expand the existing car park into multi-storey. The current floor space is 9,636 sqm so it’s quite a significant increase in size. The proposed retail extension provides new retail shops (including Woolworths and Aldi), a medical centre, gym and centre management offices. The shopping village also has a 48 place childcare centre.
Two entrances are proposed, one in Shepherds Drive opposite Macquarie Drive and the other Shepherds Drive opposite Kenburn Avenue (the existing access) to accommodate the increase in traffic. This increased traffic could access the shopping village via Shepherds Drive, but also Purchase Road/Beechwood Parade, as this route would lead to the new access opposite Macquarie Drive.
