Blue Mountains City Council has issued a Call for Expressions of Interest Document for the development of three strategic sites in the Springwood Town Centre. The purpose of this Expressions of Interest process is to enable Council to consider opportunities that may exist for the use of these sites, to assist the further development of the Springwood Town Centre precinct.
This Call for Expression of Interest submission is made by Coles Group Property Developments Ltd, an operating entity within Wesfarmers Limited, and looks to respond suitably to the desired project objectives and outcomes that have inspired this Expression of Interest process.

This was contemplated in terms of the location of the sites within Springwood, the addition of uses that would benefit the existing town centre and the planning considerations determined by the tenure and zoning of the land.
Coles Group Property Developments have also drawn on their past and current experiences in town centre development to influence these proposals, emphasising certain key criteria that are most relevant to Springwood, including:
The proposals presented in this submission are the result of the abovementioned processes, with the development of the three sites in the manner described enhancing the appeal, vitality and future of the Springwood Town Centre.
