The Vision Becomes Reality: A major milestone has been reached for the Karratha community! The City of Karratha and the Regional Development Assessment Panel (DAP) have officially approved the development application for Gap Ridge Local. Spanning across Lots 8, 9, and 10 Madigan Road, this green light clears the path for a premium retail destination that will bring substantial economic growth, local jobs, and long-awaited retail variety to our region.

Major Anchor Tenants Confirmed: The response from Australia's leading brands has been phenomenal. We are thrilled to announce that the centre is already 83% leased well ahead of construction completion. Gap Ridge Local will feature a powerhouse lineup of national retailers, ensuring you won't have to travel far for the best in DIY, auto, and lifestyle gear. Confirmed tenants include:

• Bunnings

• BCF

• Sydney Tools

• RSEA Safety

• Supercheap Auto

• Repco

• Red Dot Home

With only three premium retail spaces remaining, the site is fast becoming the most anticipated commercial hub in the northwest. (See Leasing availability)

Breaking Ground with the Best: We have officially appointed our principal construction partner to bring the architectural blueprint of Gap Ridge Local to life. Chosen for their stellar track record in delivering heavy-duty, climate-resilient regional developments, our building team has fully mobilized on-site. Initial earthworks, civil site preparations, and underground servicing have officially commenced—laying the literal foundations for our massive 388-bay customer parking complex.

Progress You Can See: If you’ve driven past the Madigan Road intersection recently, you will have noticed a massive shift in the landscape! Civil works are successfully wrapped up, concrete slabs are poured, and structural steel framing is officially going vertical. The site is abuzz with activity as our teams push ahead—proving that not even the Pilbara heat can slow down our momentum. (See Leasing availability)

Handover for Internal Fit-Outs expected from late 2026: The countdown is truly on. As the main structural building work draws to a close, the site will transition into the tenant fit-out phase. Our major retail partners will take possession of their brand-new, purpose-built showrooms to install custom internal layouts, stock shelves, and complete local staff hiring phases to ensure everything is perfect for launch day.

Grand Opening & Public Launch expected in 2027: Welcome to Karratha’s Ultimate Retail Hub! The moment the community has been waiting for! Gap Ridge Local will officially open its doors to the public. To celebrate Karratha's first dedicated large-format shopping destination, the grand opening will feature community events, exclusive retail promotions, family entertainment, and a whole new standard of shopping convenience in Western Australia.
