Capricorn Coast Homemaker Centre – Stage Two
The Capricorn Coast Homemaker Centre masterplan was developed by Council in 2016 to ensure the optimal development of a prime, central-Yeppoon site and to accommodate uses not currently in the market. Currently occupied by its operations depot, Council’s long-term vision for the site is to relocate all components of the depot and use the land to create a destination retail location for hardware, home improvement and other complementary large-format retail uses to enhance the region’s retail sector and provide growth opportunities for new and expanding local businesses. The Homemaker Centre masterplan was established to enable this vision and is the first of its kind in Livingstone Shire.
Stage one of the Homemaker Centre was released to a national property company in 2019 and has been successfully developed to accommodate several tenants, the largest being Bunnings. Construction of stage one provided a significant boost to the local economy, with enduring benefit deriving from the approximately 70 full-time local jobs created at Bunnings alone and the retention of spending locally.
The project is still in the planning stages. Council is currently planning the transition of the existing depot to an alternate location and the development of Stage Two of the Homemaker Centre.
