A Commitment to Growth.

Written By Anita Thompson

Riverway Plaza is set to expand with the construction of Stage Two.

Exciting things are on the horizon for the Upper Ross community, with construction on Stage 2 of Riverway Plaza officially set to commence in the coming months. This next phase of growth will expand the centre’s offering of everyday essentials, dining, lifestyle, and services — further cementing Riverway Plaza as the local go-to destination for the growing Rasmussen and Upper Ross regions.

A key highlight of the expansion is the arrival of Coles, which has secured a long-term lease for a 3,585sqm full-line supermarket. The successful lease was led by Ashley Moffat, General Manager, Business Development and Leasing, whose efforts were instrumental in bringing this cornerstone tenant to the project.

Alongside Coles, Stage 2 will deliver:

  • 1,225sqm of specialty retail space

  • Snap Fitness gym (650sqm, first floor)

  • 300sqm of first-floor commercial office space

  • 140-space basement car park, including 6 ‘click & collect’ bays and travelator access; and  

  • An additional 64 on-ground parking spaces, complete with sunshade structures. 

The expansion is expected to be completed by December 2026, supporting up to 100 construction jobs, with new employment opportunities created once the centre is operational. The project will also introduce new centre amenities, enhanced public spaces, and a 300kW rooftop solar system, contributing to a cleaner environment.

Located just 17km southwest of the Townsville CBD, Riverway Plaza is already home to a strong line-up of trusted retailers including Woolworths, BWS, McDonald’s, KFC, Subway, and Café 63, as well as a variety of specialty stores.

Recognised with the 2022 Property Council of Australia Retail Property of the Year – Excellence in Development Award, Riverway Plaza continues to evolve as a vibrant, community-focused destination. Stage 2 will build on this success, supporting the growing residential community and further expanding the centre’s essential services and lifestyle offerings.

Leasing opportunities are available as part of this exciting expansion, with a range of specialty tenancies designed to complement the centre’s dynamic mix of retailers and services.
