A new $5 million neighbourhood retail centre in Stockland Aura has been approved and is set to become a vibrant social hub in the budding suburb of Nirimba.

Located on Mulberry Lane at the entry to The Avenues precinct, the 2,556 square metre site is near a childcare centre, recreational park, and sports park that is currently under construction.

It will consist of three interconnected buildings surrounding a central car park and will include a diverse mix of health, beauty, retail, and lifestyle services. The layout will accommodate a variety of tenants, with flexibility to customise spaces.

Stockland Senior Development Manager, Genaea Keith said the new neighbourhood shopping centre will provide more convenience and choice for the Aura community.

“At Stockland, we’re committed to creating thriving and connected communities where residents are close to everything they need. The new neighbourhood retail centre is a great addition to Nirimba and the wider Aura community,” Ms Keith said.

“This centre will offer residents convenience and lifestyle right on their doorstep, while generating employment and creating opportunities for local businesses to grow.”

Retail centre developers Peter and Sue Ford said the community-centric space is going to be a game-changer for the area.

“Receiving approval for this project is such an exciting milestone for the community,” Mr Ford said.

“Our vision is to create a central hub of complementary businesses, including a café, retail spaces, allied health services, and a health and beauty collective. Aura’s rapid growth and thriving community made it the ideal location for a development like this, and we’re proud to contribute to its future.”

Among the first confirmed tenants is Ford & Folk, a beauty and wellness collective co-founded by sisters Sarah Milner and Aimee Ford, both residents of Aura. Inspired by their shared passion for the community, the space is designed to offer tenancies to small business owners, creating a collaborative wellness space. 

“Opening Ford & Folk together has been a dream of ours for a long time,” Mrs Milner said.

“We’re creating an inclusive, welcoming space where beauty and wellness professionals can grow their businesses while offering Aura residents easy access to a range of services. Aura is filled with talented small business owners ready to take the next step, and we’re thrilled to offer a spa-like experience for the community.”

From the same team who brought Rhythm Espresso to Baringa, the centre will also welcome Mulberry Lane Café as they bring their signature coffee culture to this new location in Nirimba.

Construction of the Nirimba neighbourhood centre is expected to commence in March 2025, with completion anticipated in late 2025.
