A Supermarket on Chalmers Street Redfern at South Sydney Leagues Club?

The DA reads “Alterations to the South Sydney Leagues Club building: Proposed works include extension of the third and fourth floors, provision of balconies along the eastern facade of the building, and modification of the Chalmers and Douglas Street facades. Approval is also sought for the future use of the building in principle – this includes a supermarket on the ground floor, the Leagues and Football Club on the first floor and use of the second, third and fourth floors as commercial offices. 191 car spaces are proposed to be provided for these uses in the basement of the adjoining building.”   

The interesting thing is that you may notice that the DA mentions a supermarket. For some time there’s been talk of Audi taking over the building that used to be a sheltered workshop. There was even a petition designed to garner support. Will Audi move into the club? There does seem to be a need for a reasonably priced supermarket in the area.
