SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF COOMERA EAST SHOPPING CENTRE’S WOOLWORTHS SUPERMARKET
The developer of Coomera East Shopping Centre needs the community to support its application to have its Woolworths supermarket expanded from 2,000sqm to 3,000sqm. Below are just a few reasons why, with more detailed information available on the FAQ page.
Coomera is the fastest growing area on the Gold Coast, with Queensland Government research showing the population is expected to explode from 9,075 people (ABS census 2011) to some 63, 762 people by 2036.
The aim of expanding the Woolworths supermarket is to provide adequate amenity for this growing population. Woolworths’ own research and store modeling supports the fact that the current 2,000sqm supermarket will not be able to support the amount of stock required to effectively service a growing population over the medium to long term.
The provision of extra floor space will not only increase the variety of items available to customers, but will also lead to the creation of additional jobs and greater convenience for locals wanting a full-line supermarket at their doorstep.
Add your name, address and comments below to show your support for an upgraded Woolworths supermarket at Coomera East Shopping Centre. Alternatively, you can visit our Facebook page to join in the conversation about this exciting new development

about 2 years agoPlease upgrade to a full size one! As we plan to stay here on this side of the highway and we do ALL our shoooing at Coomera east but we would love to see a much bigger variety & stock.

about 2 years agoPlease do NOT expand the Woolies. It is nice the way it is.

about 3 years agoI am very happy to buy shopping items I could not believe that there are a lot products got here but finally I got this form shopping mall. This is the largest site to buy needs items. All things are getting from here. This is the best opportunity.
ReplyS Boyd
about 3 years agoI think the current size and availability of products at the Woolworths is quite good. It is also small enough that it is a quick shop. I would very much prefer that it stays small and preserves the neighborhood feel.

ReplyRhonda Patterson
about 3 years agoYes a full sized woollies is essential I want to stay on the east side of the motorway as I live in Coomera Waters and shop there all the time but its frustrating not to find all the products. Come on lets make it a pleasure to shop there ALL THE TIME!
ReplyChris Hunter
about 3 years agoIt only makes sense to expand this store it should be a priority to finish it to its original plan Coomera is exploding in size so it's a no brainer.PS it looks fantastic what they have done so far C.H.
ReplySandra Mayer
about 3 years agoThe offer at this store is only adequate. To fulfill shoppers needs there needs to be a full offer as to keep people shopping and living locally.

about 3 years agoyour vegies don't last long in the fridge. and we need better bacon please. smoked tasty bacon.
ReplyLynn Watson
about 3 years agoWe need a Woolworths that makes its own breadrolls - the rolls at Coomera Eaast are like rocks so I either go to Oxenford or Upper Coomera. Please we also want South African foods. Also more selection of products. Other than that the staff are friendly and the store is lovely and clean.
ReplyKerri
about 3 years agoI have just moved to the Genesis estate and was happy to have Woolies so close. But on my first visit I found they don't stock 2 items that I buy every week so I won't be shopping there until they upgrade.
ReplyAndrew
about 3 years agoWith the limited stock currently held at this one it is a pain if you need to go to another woolies to finish your ahopping. It needs to be bigger for now and the future.
ReplyLisa
about 3 years agoNew to the area and am finding the shops very frustrating. With all the growth happening this side of the highway I dont understand why we dont have a full size woolies. I have gone in 3 times since its opened and been told sorry we dont stock those items. Now I just go to the other one over the highway to save the hassle.
ReplyMonica L
about 3 years agoThis side of the freeway is getting bigger and bigger, we really need a full sized Woolies on this side of the freeway. With the traffic as bad as it is at the moment trying to get across is a pain. Great idea, hope they enlarge soon.
ReplyJiemin Li
about 3 years agoWith the rapid expanding of Coomera, we just need a big Woolworth with all the stocks. So local resident does not need to travel to another Woolworth to find stocks.
ReplyAshleigh
about 3 years agoIt's great that we have Woolworths over this side now but tell me why I still have to continue to go to upper Coomera because the two closest Woolworths don't stock most items!!!!!
ReplyEliza Taylor
about 3 years agoA lovely Woolworths but an expansion would definitely be advantageous considering the projected population growth for the area.
ReplySonja
about 3 years agoJust went to shop there today and it was a great experience! Definitely supporting its expansion.
ReplyJim Mather
about 3 years agoIt makes sense, please don't let developers self-interest stop it.
ReplyMrs Barbara King
about 3 years agoWe have no supermarkets (like Woolworths or Coles) this side of the motorway.... There are so many people living down Foxwell Road ... and more going to move down this area.. either we have a bigger Woolworths (which I might add is great....about time) or another one (or more) further down Foxwell Road ... We are Woolworths shareholders so think you will realize what a gold mine you will have with your store ... or stores ... down Foxwell Road. Thanks
ReplyGoran
about 3 years agoPlease extend Woolworths, it's the only supermarket on the East side of Coomera!

ReplyFiona phillips
about 3 years agoLove a larger Woolworths which has everything , so much more convenient and close to home ... Saves visiting another store to get the extras , plus great for the area
ReplyMim
about 3 years agoWe have so much growth in his area and need a big supermarket on this side of the highway. It would certainly be good for business. People are busy and will go elsewhere if they need to do a big shop and can't get all they need there.
ReplySonya
about 3 years agoI fully support making this woolworths bigger. It will take so much strain off the overpass traffic for people like me who travel over the other side of town almost everyday, just to go to woolworths.
ReplyDan
about 3 years agoHope they make it bigger to allow for growth in area
ReplyLauren
about 3 years agoBe great to see it expanded to carry full range of stock, this area is really growing and could use it
ReplyKen O
about 3 years agoI support larger store and service station as well. This will take pressure off the overpass which takes a lot of traffic to access services on the western side of the highway even if you are not traveling west for work etc
Replyjack firth-paris
about 3 years agolooks great so far you have my support the bigger it is the more wide range they can have
ReplyJoel
about 4 years agoWe need a bigger woolies, so much development going on here
ReplyLucy Attard
about 4 years agoExpanding Woolworths is a great idea, it's a fast growing area which needs lots of shops to make life easier for the locals. Looking forward to the upgrade.
Replysamantha
about 4 years agowe need a big bakery not like pimpama. we need a Woolworth's like the Westfield in helensvale or upper coomera we more thing to pick from so im not having to go to two different Woolworth's finish all my shopping

about 4 years agoLife is easier with more stores and it creates more work.
ReplyGoran
about 4 years agoPlease get the full size Wooly, we've been waiting for soooo many years on this side of HWY at Coomera to get decent shop(s), and still none as we speak.

about 4 years agoSo much development on this side, we need a bigger woolworths. Kim
ReplyAnkur
about 4 years agoA big " YES " to east Coomera shopping center expansion.
ReplyRather a Coles
about 4 years agoI do not support your campaign for a larger supermarket as it would just attract more bogans to the area.
ReplyChristy
about 4 years agoEven from Melbourne we watch the Coomera area and can see that the particular area this site is located will definitely require a large, full sized supermarket to cater for the huge growth of the area.
ReplyJoshua Namua
about 4 years agoCant wait for this to be done. I support this!
ReplyMichele Sara
about 4 years agoDefinetely need a full line Woolworths on our side of the highway. The Woolworths at Pimpama is a major disappointment, we still travel to the Coomera Woolies on the other side to get our groceries. There is certainly going to be enough homes to support a larger Woolies in the very near future....
ReplyKellie
about 4 years agoGreat to have another full line Woolworths in the area. Pimpama and Ormeau are great but don't necessarily stock everything. Also great for the local community generating more jobs for our youth who are seeking part-time work as well as new jobs for locals seeking full time work. Can't wait for it to open next year :)
ReplyJesus C
about 4 years agoTotally agree with this!
ReplySally
about 4 years agoI live directly across from the construction and would love to see it expand for a bigger supermarket. I'm excited and it gives me an opportunity to work so close to home.
ReplySamantha
about 4 years agoI offer my full support in expanding the Woolworths to a full line. I've worked in the shopping centre management industry for 12 years and had this issue at one of my previous centres in Brisbane where only a 2,000m2 store was built and it over traded from the beginning. I hope Woolworths also look at a pad site for a service station too as there are no service stations on the Eastern side of the M1.
ReplyMrs M Russo
about 4 years agoWith the area expanding all the neighbours need expanding shops to cater for all of us! Can't wait to see this project come te life!
ReplyBarry Howarth
about 4 years agoI think we need the larger store here because of the fast growing population in this area. I like the variety a larger store can offer also.
ReplyClay
about 4 years agoMust be made bigger to sustain all the growth happening in the area, a chemist is a must for the area and a Woolworths petrol please
ReplyJulie Cooke
about 4 years agoI've lived at Coomera Waters for 12 years and can't tell you how excited I am to have some shops near by! Can't wait to see the full list of retailers. I watch the buildings going up daily and am so pleased at how quickly it's happening!
ReplyDarren C
about 4 years agoA larger supermarket would definitely be great for the community. I just hope there's enough parking to support this larger supermarket and the road infrastructure is suitable. The Woollies at Ormeau has sufficient parking but getting in and out of the place is a nightmare.
ReplyJulia bladen
about 4 years agoI support for the bigger woolies in coomera east shop center. It will be great to have a bigger supermarket nearby. Populations around coomera are really growing fast.
ReplyBec Kuum
about 4 years agoThe area is growing so quickly so it's a fantastic idea! ;)
ReplySandra
about 4 years agoWe have experianced the dissapointment of the pimpama woolies not having that vety item you stopped there to buy. We need a bigger woolies. !!!
ReplyDee
about 4 years agoThe area needs a far bigger Woolworths, given the residential development this place will be crazy in a few years time.
ReplyNatalie C
about 4 years agoMost definitely a bigger store will benefit everybody! The store at Pimpama is not big enough and it shows in their profits for sure
ReplyMichelle
about 4 years agoA bigger store close to home would be excellent, preferably with a in house bakery!
ReplySteve Bell
about 4 years agoMy family fully supports the expansion. Getting it right the first time is always the key to success. Thank you
ReplyShirley Goldsmith
about 4 years agoLots of new houses in this area so a larger supermarket would be great
ReplyJodie
about 4 years agoThe bigger the better and the more jobs the better off the community will be.
ReplyPaula Fitzpatrick
about 4 years agoWould love a larger Woolies. The only thing going for the one at Pimpama is proximity so that I don't have to go near or over the M1. This area is growing rapidly and really needs a larger Woolies.
ReplyAngela Blake
about 4 years agoA bigger Woolworths would be fantastic! With all the development around the Coomera area, we do need a bigger Woolworths. The Pimpama Woolworths does not stock all items, very frustrating when you drive there with the hope they will have the item you want, not a bad store, just don't stock all items. That means I won't do my big weekly shop at that branch, only if it is a bread or a milk. Please, please ;)
ReplyK Walters
about 4 years agoWe def support a larger Woolworths store at Coomera East Shopping Centre! Would shop there every week.

about 4 years agoSeems like a good idea when there is so much development happen in the area.

about 4 years agoLiving in Coomera for the last 8 years, we already have to travel all the way to Helensvale Westfield as both current local Woolworths (Pimpama and Coomera City) do not stock a wider range of stock which we buy for our growing family. It would be nice and convenient if all of us residents in the Coomera district didn't have to add to already congested traffic by having a fully stocked Woolworths store in our area. Thanks
ReplyCaroline King
about 4 years agoI totally support the expansion of the Woolworths. I'm a real Estate Agent in Coomera.....yes we have people flocking here from Sydney and Melbourne. Construction all around. It would be a smart move. Kind regards Caroline.
ReplyLynne Davidson
about 4 years agoThe upgrade for the full size would be so beneficial to this side of the highway!
ReplyDerrick Fray
about 4 years agoAs a resident of East Coomera, I support the development of a full sized supermarket in the Coomera East Shopping Centre. As well as boosting employment opportunities, it will reduce the need for car travel to other locations further afield to access full line supermarket products. With existing/approved full line supermarkets in all other local areas of West Coomera, Central Coomera and Pimpama, if this increased size is not approved, residents of East Coomera will be disadvantaged and continue to have additional expense and create unnecessary traffic congestion in order to have access to a full range of supermarket products.
ReplyRamon Wozniak
about 4 years agoYes please expand this Woolworths store. Please be unlike the main roads department, and plan for future growth and expansion.
ReplyPatricia Martin
about 4 years agoThe Martin family would be delighted if the new woolworths at Coomera East was a full line store , with increased variety and the creation of additional jobs for locals is second to none Looking forward to the grand opening Very exciting !!.
ReplyPeter Davidson
about 4 years agoA bigger store would be better
ReplyNoel Giglio
about 4 years agoYeah sounds like a good idea, as one of the fastest growing areas on the Northern Part of the GC, working up this end of the Coast, always visit the Woolies centre on my lunch break and after work to pick up lines essentials etc. Only thing I will say is please make the car park big enough and road access points easier to get into .
ReplyRhana O
about 4 years agoPlease upgrade the Woolworths to a full sized store. We are in desperate need of a large scale food store on the Eastern side and the Woolies at Pimpama is just tiny and has not got a full range requiring us to make the journey to a Woolworths further away across the highway to do our shopping, which is extremely disappointing. We are such a huge area and are only getting bigger and becoming more populated day by day, so we really need this in our area. We have been waiting for a supermarket a very long time.
ReplyChantal
about 4 years agoLarger Woolies is great!!! It will be way more convenient to do the one stop shopping in one big place. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyMr S K
