Construction on Tipalea Partners’ brand-new $60 million Stony Rise Village has officially commenced and Devonport locals can expect to be shopping in the next-generation retail centre by mid-2027.
Stony Rise Village is set to bring everyday convenience and enhanced competition to the region. The 6,300sqm retail hub will be anchored by Woolworths, opening its largest supermarket in Tasmania’s north-west. It will also house a national Chemist’s first superstore in the region. A range of other specialty retailers including medical services, takeaway food and beauty services will complete the innovative centre’s offering.
“We are so excited to break ground on the site and celebrate Fairbrother starting construction on Stony Rise Village,” said Scott Spanton, CEO of Tipalea Partners.
“It has been a journey to get to this point. We have been overwhelmed by the support we have had so far from both the community, Council and State political leaders – not to mention the outstanding results from our pre-leasing campaign.”
Leasing commitments have already reached 70%, reflecting confidence in the region, backed by the robust population growth in Stony Rise and Miandetta.
Stony Rise Village is set to be the most technologically advanced neighbourhood centre in the North West. It will feature EV charging stations, weather station, free Wi-Fi, wireless charging stations, CCTV throughout, car counters and duress intercoms.
It will also introduce a range of contemporary retail design features not seen before in Devonport – including a modern and welcoming parents’ room, abundant and convenient parking with shade sails, drive-through Click & Collect, leading-edge technology and security, safe pedestrian access, separate truck and loading access, and engaging public art.
Parking spaces are generously sized with double lines on both sides with dedicated parking for elderly, parents with prams and RVs. Spaces for Taxis and Uber food delivery bays will also be provided.
The start of construction was celebrated with a soil turning ceremony onsite, attended by the Honourable Jeremy Rockliff MP Premier of Tasmania, the Honourable Felix Ellis MP, Cr. Alison Jarman Mayor of Devonport and Marcus Perkins, General Manager – Fairbrother Northern Tasmania.
