Glengarry Shopping Centre’s proposed redevelopment drew both support and concern in Duncraig. The City of Joondalup records the plan for 59 Arnisdale Road as approved on 3 September 2025, but that approval does not confirm when construction will begin, when the centre will open, or which businesses will occupy it.
What is planned for Glengarry Shopping Centre?
Woolworths’ application, prepared by Urbis, proposes a two-storey retail and commercial centre anchored by a full-line Woolworths supermarket. It also includes a smaller supermarket tenancy, specialty shops, food and beverage space, offices, parking and landscaping. These are elements of the applicant’s proposal, not confirmation of the final built design or tenant mix. Application plans
Urbis’s February 2024 needs assessment sets out the proposed scale in more detail:
| Proposed component | Area or number | What the figure describes |
|---|---|---|
| Woolworths supermarket | 3,626 square metres | Proposed full-line supermarket floor area. Urbis needs assessment, February 2024 |
| Smaller supermarket tenancy | 825 square metres | Proposed space that the assessment said could potentially accommodate IGA; that does not establish IGA will operate there. |
| Specialty retail | About 885 square metres across 13 tenancies | Proposed retail area and tenancy count. |
| Offices | 774 square metres | Proposed office floor area. |
| Parking | 288 bays | Proposed total, including ground, basement and Direct-to-Boot bays. |
The assessment assumed 2026/27 would be the first full trading year. That was an applicant forecast made in 2024, not a verified current opening date. The available City records establish approval, but do not establish construction commencement or a current schedule. City of Joondalup DAP listing City of Joondalup council agenda, 24 March 2026
Why were some residents sad about the redevelopment?
In July 2025, residents and business operators described attachment to the existing centre and anxiety about what redevelopment could mean for familiar shops. Duncraig resident Neal Meakins said, “It’s obviously a shame, but you can’t stop progress,” and regretted having to go elsewhere for a centre he knew well. PerthNow described the existing centre as having 20 stores. PerthNow, 14 July 2025
For some small-business operators, the concern was practical as well as emotional: whether they could afford temporary relocation, secure space in the new centre and meet future rents. Holmesys Bakehouse owner Steven Holmes said he could not afford temporary relocation, despite being offered a place in the proposed centre. Duncraig local Karen Kroeger questioned the need for another major chain and worried that rent, limited space and relocation costs could keep independent businesses from returning.

Why did others support a new centre?
Not everyone opposed the plans. Duncraig-Glengarry Flowers & Gifts owner Rosemarie Persson said the centre was tired and that the redevelopment could “bring in more people.” She hoped small businesses would be able to return and benefit from increased activity.
Woolworths argued that the area was “under-serviced in terms of grocery retail with no full line supermarket.” A company spokesman said the redevelopment aimed to add services and convenient shopping and create a place for small businesses and the community. Those are the company’s reasons for the project, rather than independent findings about local demand or the likely effects.

Will IGA stay or return?
The available statements do not settle whether IGA will operate in the redeveloped centre. Urbis’s 2024 assessment said the proposed 825-square-metre supermarket tenancy could potentially accommodate IGA. Later, Metcash food division head Grant Ramage said IGA planned to exit because the proposed tenancy’s size and location were not viable, including because it lacked direct loading-dock access. The statements reflect different stages and positions; neither confirms the eventual tenant.
Could the redevelopment make traffic worse?
Traffic and deliveries were among the concerns raised by shoppers and residents, but the consulted material does not establish an independent traffic count or a measured prediction of the redevelopment’s traffic effects. Shopper Moira McFarlane welcomed a larger, modern centre and basement parking while also raising concerns about traffic and deliveries near hospitals. The proposal includes parking and Direct-to-Boot bays, but those plan details alone do not establish how access or traffic will work in practice.

The City of Joondalup’s DAP listing records the redevelopment of Lot 1 (59) Arnisdale Road as approved at the Outer-Metro Development Assessment Panel meeting on 3 September 2025. A City council agenda dated 24 March 2026 also records the approval and notes a petition opposing the redevelopment with 627 signatures. That figure shows the petition’s size, not the views of all or most Duncraig residents.
The available City records do not establish whether construction has started, the current opening schedule, the final tenants or the approval’s full conditions. The 2026/27 trading-year estimate in the 2024 applicant assessment should therefore not be treated as a confirmed opening date.
