Town Centre Plans Plans are underway for the Glenmore Park Town Centre to be expanded, with a Development Application expected to be submitted to Penrith City Council by the end of the year. At the last Glenmore Park Action Group meeting, AMP Capital Property Development Officer, Vanessa Walker, confirmed that progress was being made in relation to the expansion. A recent statement sent to the Gazette from Ms Walker says “AMP Capital Shopping Centres continues to work with Penrith City Council in considering opportunities for expansion of Glenmore Park Town Centre. AMPCSC sees the growth of Glenmore Park and surrounding suburbs as providing the opportunity for an enhanced retail offer for the local community. AMPCSC will continue to work with council aiming to progress to DA lodgement and we’ll advise when that stage has been reached.”
The meeting discussed the options, with the danger of the present Town Terrace Road dividing the shops being of unanimous concern. Continued on page 6
