The Saleyards: Warragul’s new Large Format Retail destination signs anchor tenant, on track for August 2025 opening
In an exciting development for Victoria’s Large Format Retail sector, construction has commenced on The Saleyards, a major new centre in the heart of Warragul.
On track to open in August 2025, The Saleyards is set to become a key shopping destination in one of the state’s fastest-growing regional towns.
With planning approvals secured, developer McMullin is moving full steam ahead with the construction, marking a significant milestone in transforming Warragul’s retail landscape and delivering a high-quality centre for Large Format Retailers and the community.
The development has attracted multiple leasing inquiries, and has already secured its anchor tenant, leading tool retailer Sydney Tools, who has, over the past decade expanded strategically to occupy a significant footprint across Australia’s Large Format Retail centres.
Tom Perkins of Leedwell Property said, “We are very excited to progress with Sydney Tools as the anchor of this exciting development. The national tools retailer, who just opened their 100th store, recognised the importance of being early to market by committing to this already permit-approved site where construction has commenced.”
“Warragul’s growth presents an exceptional opportunity for Large Format Retailers looking to expand their presence in regional Victoria,” explains Josh McMullin, Business Development Manager for McMullin.
“The Saleyards, which spans 8,000 sqm, is expected to house seven individual tenancies, situated on the ground floor with the design allowing multiple access points and a conventional layout that maximises exposure to the main road, guaranteeing high visibility to passing traffic.”
Thanks to meticulous planning and attention to detail, The Saleyards has been specifically designed for Large Format Retail, with each tenancy featuring prominent frontage and large pylon signage along the main road.
This development is set to become a cornerstone of Warragul’s retail sector with a range of tenancy options tailored for retailers seeking turnkey solutions and adaptable spaces
The Saleyards is situated at 44 – 56 Alfred Street in the heart of town, and is conveniently located near major transport routes, including the VLINE train service, with excellent access via the Princes Highway and the Howitt Street exit.
Surrounded by neighbouring areas like Drouin, Trafalgar, and Longwarry, Warragul is nestled in the vibrant Baw Baw Shire which boasts a thriving population of more than 60,000 residents. Regional statistics released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2022 highlighted Baw Baw Shire’s exploding population growth. This solidified Council’s major focus on local infrastructure and services, to also support the estimated population growth rate of 2.1% per annum over the next 20 years.
