Costco Brisbane
Costco won approval from the Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) in August 2012 to build a 14,000sqm development at North Lakes.
Westfield, one of Australia’s major shopping centres, has appealed the approval by MBRC, arguing that it would be in direct competition with other established shopping centres.
Costco country manager Patrick Noone said “all going well, construction on the North Lakes warehouse would begin in the second half of 2013”.
