March 2019 update
Demolition works have commenced, 6 days a week from 7am – 5.30pm. We expect this work to take several weeks to be completed.
Given the nature of the work, noise is to be expected, however please be assured that we are committed to always maintaining compliance within local council guidelines and minimising disruption wherever possible.
For more information and regular updates, we invite you to join the Marrickville Metro Resident’s Group Facebook page.
The Marrickville Metro expansion will add a total of approximately 16,000 square metres in two stages. The existing centre is approximately 23,000 square metres.
Stage 1A works at the Victoria Road entry garden were completed in early 2017 and include:
- Landscaping
- Facade works
- Family play space
- Community garden

Stage 1B will be built on the opposite side of Smidmore Street, where there is currently an industrial building. This stage will comprise:
- A new, two level retail building of approximately 10,000 square metres
- An additional supermarket, mini major, food market and additional specialty retail stores
- Two new levels of car parking above the retail building
- An additional loading dock, away from residential areas
