Takeaway food outlets, a cafe, bakery, fruit and vegetable store, a butcher, lotto outlet and a florist are the types of businesses likely to lease a site at an upmarket convenience retail complex proposed for Rotorua's western suburbs.
Rotorua developer Tony Bradley, who developed the Redwood Centre at the intersection of Tarawera Rd and Te Ngae Rd, has bought the 6300sq m site at the intersection of Fairy Springs Rd and Old Quarry Rd which was formerly owned by Oderings.
Mr Bradley has applied for resource consent to build an upmarket retail complex.
According to the resource consent, which was publicly notified last week, the types of retail and service activities proposed for this centre are likely to include such activities as a single cafe/small restaurant, a range of takeaway food outlets (excluding drive through facilities), a bakery, fruit and vegetable store, butcher, lotto outlet and a florist. A gym, hairdresser or beauty salon, a physiotherapy/osteopathic clinic or clothing and footwear repair are also the types of service businesses likely to lease an area at the site in order to provide a mix of activities at the site.
Given its location and close proximity to schools, liquor retailing, pubs or tattooing and piercing will not be allowed.
