Executive summary
Kaufland has identified a site at 1158 Nepean Highway, Mornington as one of six potential
sites in metropolitan Melbourne for their entry into the Australian marketplace. The site is
current zoned Industrial 3, and Kaufland would require the land to be rezoned to be
permissible. The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council currently does not have a formal
position on the proposed Kaufland application and have engaged MacroPlan to assess need
for a Kaufland supermarket at the subject site, as well as to consider the potential impact it
may have on the primacy of the Mornington Activity Centre and more broadly on other
activity centres in the Mornington Peninsula. Based on our analysis, the following provides
our views on potential implications from the proposed development.
Our analysis indicates that the existing provision of supermarket floorspace in the Kaufland
Mornington main trade area is generally at, and will remain at or above, the average for
metropolitan Melbourne throughout the forecast period. Therefore, the existing provision of
supermarkets is considered to be already adequately serving the Mornington Peninsula
population, and there is no clear need for a large supermarket at the subject site.
The sales potential for Kaufland Mornington is estimated at between $42 - 46 million in FY21
(assumed to be the first full year of trade). Due to the scale, offer and likely destinational
attraction of the supermarket, it is likely to serve a large trade area encompassing some
240,000 residents at 2018. As the trading impacts are expected to spread across the
Mornington Peninsula, as a result of the broad destinational draw of Kaufland, modest
trading impacts are assessed at surrounding activity centres in the region. The most affected
retail facilities are assessed to be the Aldi supermarket at Peninsula Hub, as well as the
supermarket at the Mornington Major Activity Centre and the Mount Eliza and Bentons
Square Town Centres.
The subject site, together with the adjoining Peninsula Hub Homemaker centre, is zoned
Industrial 3 and sits outside of the Activity Centres hierarchy as detailed in the Mornington
Peninsula Activity Centre Strategy. In our view, the development of the Kaufland Mornington

supermarket could affect the Activity Centres hierarchy, and therefore it could be concluded
that the development may undermine the Activity Centre policy, in that it will create a new
activity centre at the site. However, we do not expect that the Kaufland development will
affect the primacy of the Mornington Major Activity Centre.
Overall, the development of a Kaufland supermarket at the subject site is not expected to
have a significant impact on any one retail precinct in the surrounding area, and is not likely
to affect the viability of any retailer in the area. It is also not considered to impact on the
primacy of the Mornington MAC and will also will likely result in a number of community
benefits. However, there is not considered a need for a large scale supermarket in the local
area, and its development in an out-of-centre location is likely to have implications on the
Activity Centres hierarchy, as it will effectively result in the creation of a new Activity Centre.
The potential impact on the Activity Centres hierarchy arising from the out-of-centre
development needs to be considered against the potential benefits of the proposal.

Introduction
German operator Kaufland are planning to enter the Australian supermarket sector, with an
initial proposal to open a network of six locations in metropolitan Melbourne.
This report presents an independent assessment of the potential for the proposed Kaufland
supermarket at 1158 Nepean Highway Mornington, 3 km east of the Mornington Major
Activity Centre. The report also examines the likely economic impacts on surrounding activity
centres arising from this proposed development.
This report is presented in six sections as follows:
Section 1 presents an overview of Kaufland and the state of play of the supermarket
sector in Australia. This section also details the site and planning context of the proposed
Kaufland store in Mornington.
Section 2 reviews the trade area likely to be served by a proposed Kaufland supermarket
at the subject site, detailing current and projected population levels, as well as the socio-
demographic profile and current and future retail expenditure capacity of the trade area
population.
Section 3 outlines the competitive retail context within which the Kaufland supermarket
will operate, including proposed developments of relevance.
Section 4 provides a needs assessment for a Kaufland supermarket at the subject site.
Section 5 provides estimates of sales potential for the proposed Kaufland supermarket, as
well as a review of the potential impacts the development may have on existing centres
in the area, as well as an overview of possible community benefits.
Section 6 presents our concluding remarks and preliminary views on the proposed
Kaufland Mornington development.

Section 1: Context
This section of the report presents an overview of Kaufland and the state of play of the
supermarket sector in Australia. The site and planning context of the proposed Kaufland
supermarket in Mornington are also detailed.
1.1 Kaufland – International
Kaufland is a German supermarket chain and is a subsidiary of the Schwarz Group, which is
the fourth largest retailer globally by revenue. The Schwarz Group is headquartered in
Germany and operates 11,730 stores in 28 European countries, employing a workforce of
approximately 400,000. The Group also operates the Lidl supermarket banner, a discount
supermarket operation which is a chief competitor to Aldi. For the year ending
February 2018, the Schwarz Group recorded revenue of AUD$153.3 billion (EUR 96.9 billion),
a growth of 7.4% from the previous year.
The Kaufland brand operates 1,250 stores in Germany, the Czech Republic (first opened in
1998), Slovakia (2000), Poland (2001), Croatia (2001), Romania (2005), Bulgaria (2006) and
Moldova (2018) and is now planning to open a network of stores across Australia. For the
year ending February 2018, the Kaufland banner recorded revenue of AUD$34.9 billion
(EUR 22.3 billion), a growth of 3.0% from the previous year, accounting for over a third of the
overall sales of the Schwarz Group.

1.2 Kaufland Australia
The store format which Kaufland is planning to operate in Australia will be large in footprint
compared with traditional supermarkets, ranging in size of between 5,000 – 7,000 sq.m
(GLA). By way of comparison the average size of full-line supermarkets currently operated by
Coles and Woolworths is around 3,500 sq.m. The size of Kaufland would, however, be far
smaller than Costco Warehouses, which are generally between 12,000 – 14,000 sq.m in size.
Branded as a hypermarket, Kaufland stores are likely to encompass a full-line supermarket
offer, combined with elements typically found in discount department stores in Australia.
The large footprint will allow Kaufland stores to offer an extensive range of fresh food and
groceries, complemented by supporting non-food goods which are part of the staple
supermarket offer such as stationery, toys, household goods and personal hygiene goods.
Kaufland stores could also potentially include a range of discount department store type
non-food goods such as crockery, cutlery, cookware, small electrical appliances and other
homewares, as well as a small provision of apparel and bedding products. Each Kaufland
store is also planned to dedicate a small provision of ancillary floorspace to accommodate a
café as well as other complementary uses.
According to the Kaufland in Victoria – Consumer and Economic Impacts report prepared by
Dimasi & Co, some of the key facets of Kaufland’s operation is to include the following:
Regional sourcing, with Kaufland stating the aim is to source some products from the
surrounding region to shorten the supply chain and promote the freshness of its food
products for customers.
New products, with Kaufland planning to introduce a new range of international labels
which are not currently available in Australia, as well as provide an extensive range of its
own private label products.
Kaufland is likely to operate as a destinational shopping attraction. Analysis undertaken by
Morgan Stanley has indicated that Kaufland could generate up to $480 million in Australian
revenue by 2020. Morgan Stanley believes Kaufland will invest heavily in fresh food, which
Section 1: Context

could further put pressure on the margins in those categories, prompting the likes of
Woolworths and Coles to further lower prices.
Kaufland are planning to open at six locations in Melbourne – Coolaroo, Chirnside Park,
Dandenong, Epping, Oakleigh and Mornington, which is the subject of this assessment.
Map 1.1 illustrates the locations of this proposed network, while Appendix Maps A1 – A10
illustrate the site and planning context of each identified site. The sites are mostly located
within or close to already well established Activity Centres and are zoned Commercial 1,
Commercial 2 or Activity Centre, except Oakleigh South and Mornington, as summarised
below:
The Chirnside Park site is located within the Chirnside Park Major Activity Centre and is
zoned Commercial 1.
The Coolaroo site is located adjacent to the Roxburgh Park Major Activity Centre and is
zoned Commercial 2.
The Dandenong site is located approximately 1.5 km north of the Dandenong
Metropolitan Activity Centre and is zoned Commercial 2.
The Epping site is located within the Epping Metropolitan Activity Centre and is zoned
Activity Centre – Schedule One.
The Oakleigh South site (which is also planned to include the head office) is located
1.7 km west of the Clayton Major Activity Centre and is zoned Industrial 1.
The Mornington site is located 2.1 km (straight line) and 3 km (by road) east of the
Mornington Major Activity Centre and is zoned Industrial 3.
Therefore, the Mornington site is one of two sites, along with Oakleigh South, which are on
Industrial zoned land, while three of the six sites (Chirnside Park, Coolaroo and Epping) are
situated within or adjacent to Major Activity Centres.

1.3 Supermarket state of play
This sub-section provides an overview of the supermarket sector in Australia.
The main full line supermarket operators, Woolworths and Coles, have traditionally
exercised an almost duopolistic control over the supermarket sector. Over the past decade,
Coles has substantially outperformed Woolworths, including a 7-year period ending
September 2016, where Coles outgrew its main rival on a comparable sales basis in 28
consecutive quarters. Coles has invested heavily in its brand, and now has the perception of
being cheaper and having better service on the back of the very successful ‘Down Down’ and
‘Everyday’ campaigns. Following the appointment of Brad Banducci as CEO, Woolworths has
seen a rebound in its performance, underpinned by heavy investment in product prices and
in store service, as well as the building of stronger relationships with core suppliers.
Woolworths easily outstripped Coles in FY17 and FY18, recording comparable sales growth of
3.6% and 4.3% respectively.
The majority of Woolworths and Coles supermarkets are full line, which are generally around
3,000 - 4,000 sq.m in size. Both retailers operate small format stores in CBD and inner-city
locations under the Woolworths Metro banner (300 - 800 sq.m), and Coles Central brands
(800 – 1,200 sq.m). Coles has also recently developed a small format store for inner and
middle ring locations under the Cole Local banner, which is akin to the failed more up-
market supermarket Thomas Dux.
Coles also operates larger supermarkets of around 5,500 sq.m, which are more comparable
in scale to the proposed Kaufland supermarket. These supermarkets, located at Eden Rise
and Stockland Traralgon in Melbourne, include a traditional full-line supermarket offer as
well as provisions of basic apparel, toys, stationery, homewares, entertainment, sporting
goods, leisure goods and outdoor furnishings.
The independent supermarket sector operates primarily under the IGA banner, particularly
for larger independent stores. There is also a small number of FoodWorks branded stores, as
well as some regional brands such as Foodlands and Drakes in South Australia and
Queensland. In total, there are around 1,350 independent supermarkets of over 500 sq.m in
size.

Costco
Costco operates on a membership basis, with members paying an annual fee in order to
make bulk or large scale purchases at the stores. The offer is broad, incorporating food as
well as non-food items, from fresh food and grocery products to everyday apparel, electrical
appliances, automotive supplies, health and beauty products and general household items.
Costco, while being a bulk seller and different from traditional retailers, still competes within
the same retail market as the traditional retail operators such as supermarkets and discount
department stores, as well as specialty shops to a lesser degree.
The first Costco warehouse in Australia opened in August 2009, at Melbourne’s Docklands,
and proved to be a highly successful store, with an estimated 1.5 million visitors annually.
Costco currently operates ten stores across Australia – four in Melbourne; three in Sydney;
two in Brisbane and one each in Canberra and Adelaide.
Costco’s individual store performances are not readily available, however, based on industry
reports it is widely accepted that Costco is a very high volume retailer, with in excess of
$200 million in sales being achieved by some stores at present. On an average basis, sales
per store are broadly estimated to be in the order of $150-$180 million on average, at an
average productivity level of around $10,000-$12,000 per sq.m.
In addition to being a high sales generator, Costco has the ability to draw trade from a very
wide region. Costco stores have destinational appeal and serve very large trade areas,
typically between 500,000 to 1 million people. Costco, like the new flagship international
retailers, will only build a small number of stores, thus a locality which has a Costco store
becomes a major customer attractor.

Aldi
Aldi opened its first Australian store in Sydney in 2001, and since then has expanded
aggressively, firstly across the eastern seaboard capital cities which at 2016, saw 396 Aldi
stores operating in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT. Since then, Aldi also pushed into
the SA and WA markets with the operator opening its 500th store in Australia in November
2017. At the start of 2018, research conducted by Roy Morgan estimated that Aldi had
captured over 13% of the $90.3 billion supermarket sector.
At the core of Aldi’s strategy is a range of approximately 1,500 product lines per store,
predominantly private labels. This is compared to the 25,000 - 30,000 product lines of an
average full-line Coles or Woolworths supermarket, with the smaller range allowing Aldi to
achieve comparative advantages in store footprint (between 1,300 - 1,700 sq.m which is half
the size of a full-line supermarket), warehousing infrastructure and supplier discounts. In
turn, a proportion of these savings are passed onto the consumer, gaining a competitive
racing edge over other operators in the sector.
The Aldi store format has seen a number of updates since its inception, including an
increased emphasis on fresh food (2016), while the latest store format updates places a
particular focus on the fit-out of its stores, set to feature clearer signage, redesigned
shelving, expanded wooden produce bays, energy efficient LED lighting and extended
chillers. Aldi’s new store format require around 1,700 sq.m, compared to older store
openings which were smaller at around 1,300 sq.m.
The aggressive expansion of Aldi, its price competitive edge and the overall value proposition
of its products and offer have attracted a wide-ranging demographic. Research conducted by
Nielsen, showed that in 2006, 38 per cent of Aldi shoppers were from low-income groups
and just 26 per cent were from high-income families. By 2014, the proportion of high-income
shoppers had risen to 50 per cent.
Research conducted by Roy Morgan has shown that Woolworths holds the dominant market
share in the $90.3 billion supermarket sector in FY17, capturing 35.7%, followed by Coles at
33.2%, Aldi at 13.2% and IGA/Metcash at 9.3%.

1.4 Site context
The subject site for the proposed Kaufland supermarket is at 1158 Nepean Highway,
Mornington, a seaside suburb of Melbourne located approximately 57 km south-east of the
Melbourne CBD. The subject site is located approximately 3 km east, by road, of the
Mornington Major Activity Centre (refer Map 1.2) and is currently zoned Industrial 3 (refer
Map 1.3).
Nepean Highway is the primary traffic route connecting inner eastern Melbourne with the
outer south-eastern suburbs. The highway runs throughout the Mornington Peninsula Shire
linking Mornington to tourist hotspots such as Dromana, Rye, Portsea and Sorrento to the
south and south-west. The Nepean Highway, near Bungower Road, accommodates 29,000
average daily traffic movements in both directions in 2017 (VicRoads Traffic Data).
The proposed Kaufland Mornington site is located adjacent to the Peninsula Hub, a primarily
large format retail centre, which encompasses a number of national homemaker and
appliances tenants such as Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Lincraft, Bedshed, Snooze, Early
Settlers and Officeworks. The centre also contains an Aldi supermarket, which opened in
April 2016, while a Bunnings Warehouse is located immediately south of the centre.
Figure 1.1 illustrates the indicative layout of the proposed Kaufland Mornington store. The
plans show that the supermarket Gross Leasable Area (GLA) is to be 5,691 sq.m (including
liquor, back of house, administration and services). The development is also planned to
include two smaller tenancies of 520 sq.m and 34 sq.m respectively, as well as internal mall
area of 376 sq.m.

1.5 Planning context
The Mornington Peninsula Activity Centres Strategy, adopted by Council in April 2018, is a
review and update of the previous Activity Centres Strategy, adopted by Council in 2005. A
key element of the previous strategy is the identification of an activity centres hierarchy
where centres of different hierarchical levels perform different but complementary roles.
The 2018 Strategy continues to adopt the hierarchy approach towards guiding activity
centres development in the Mornington Peninsula (refer Figure 1.2). It envisions that the
centres will continue to be the focus for new retail development and key locations for
businesses, community activity and social interaction, and that future development will
respect and be appropriate to the character, role and function of each centre.
The key strategic objective and actions in the Mornington Peninsula Activity Centres Strategy
of relevance to the proposed Kaufland Mornington supermarket include:
The continued support of the activity centres hierarchy…’as a beneficial planning tool to
guide the location, type and volume of new and/or expanded retail…ensuring this
hiearacyhy is reference when considering development applications (and) proposals for
out-of-centre development’
‘To provide an effective and efficient activity centre hierarchy that provides high levels of
service to residents, visitors and tourists’.
To ‘re-affirm the primacy of Mornington Peninsula’s Major Activity Centre in the activity
centres hierarchy and as the regional focus for a wide range of activities, including
retail…reflecting this direction when developing future policies and action which are
relevant to activity centres, and encourage development that consolidates the primacy of
these centres’.
‘To support the growth of existing centres to meet increased demand’.
‘To accommodate large-format homemaker retailing and mixed-business use at Enterprise
Area locations…These are areas located outside traditional activity centres which typically
Section 1: Context
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
13
comprise a broad mix of businesses including homemaker retail, showrooms, trade
supplies, light industry, and other businesses and community facilities...’
‘To closely monitor out-of-centre development. Ensure that commercial development
occurring away from activity centres identified in the hierarchy contributes to the
achievement of a net community benefit and does not undermine activity centre policy’.
The Activity Centres Strategy outlines that the Peninsula Hub Homemaker Centre, which
adjoins the subject site, sits outside of the Activity Centres hierarchy. The out-of-centre
homemaker centre contains an estimated 15,000 sq.m of large format retail floorspace, as
well as an Aldi supermarket of approximately 1,500 sq.m.

Section 2: Trade area analysis
This section of the report reviews the trade area likely to be served by a proposed Kaufland
supermarket at the subject site, detailing current and projected population levels, as well as
the socio-demographic profile and current and future retail expenditure capacity of the trade
area population.
2.1 Trade area definition
The extent of the trade area or catchment that is served by any shopping centre or retail
facility is shaped by the interplay of a number of critical factors. These factors include:
The relative attraction of the centre, in comparison with alternative competitive retail
facilities. The factors that determine the strength and attraction of any particular centre
are primarily its scale and composition (in particular the major trader or traders that
anchor the centre); its layout and ambience; and carparking, including access and ease of
use.
The proximity and attractiveness of competitive retail centres. The locations,
compositions, quality and scale of competitive retail facilities all serve to define the
extent of the trade area which a shopping centre is effectively able to serve.
The available road network and public transport infrastructure, which determine the ease
(or difficulty) with which customers are able to access a shopping centre.
Significant physical barriers which are difficult to negotiate, and can act as delineating
boundaries to the trade area served by an individual shopping centre.
Section 2: Trade area analysis
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
16
The trade area defined for the Kaufland Mornington supermarket primarily reflects the
following considerations:
The high profile location of the subject site on a major highway which is exposed to
29,000 average daily vehicular movements.
The proposed scale and offer of Kaufland, with is a hypermarket that combines a full-line
supermarket offer as well as a range of non-food items.
The network of competitive retail facilities in the surrounding region with particular
regard for supermarket and discount department store anchors.
Map 2.1 illustrates the main trade area defined for the proposed Kaufland Mornington store,
which encompasses the Mornington Peninsula Shire as well as part of the City of Frankston.
The trade area is defined to contain a primary sector, four secondary sectors and a tertiary
sector, described as follows:
The primary sector encompasses the suburbs of Mornington, Mount Eliza and Mount
Martha, as well as parts of Moorooduc;
The secondary north sector covers the of Frankston, Frankston South and Langwarrin
South, as well as parts of Langwarrin and Pearcedale;
The secondary east sector contains the suburbs of Somerville, Tyabb and Baxter, as well
as the remaining parts of Moorooduc;
The secondary south-east sector encompasses Hastings, Crib Point and Bittern, as well as
the adjoining localities such as Tuerong and Balnarring.
The secondary south sector contains the suburbs of Rosebud, Rosebud West, McCrae,
Dromana, Safety Beach, Arthurs Seat and Red Hill.
The tertiary south sector encompasses the remaining southern parts of the Mornington
Peninsula Shire and includes tourist hotspots such as Rye, Portsea and Sorrento.
In combination the primary and secondary sectors form the main trade area, while the
total trade area also includes the tertiary sector.

2.2 Trade area population
Table 2.1 details the estimated current and future population levels within the Kaufland
Mornington total trade area. This information has been collected from a range of sources
including the following:
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census of Population and Housing (2011, 2016);
ABS Dwellings Approvals and Estimated Residential Population Data (2011 – 2016);
Population projections prepared by forecast.id for the Mornington Peninsula Shire
(updated in November 2017) and the City of Frankston (updated September 2018);
Victoria in Future (2016) population projections prepared by the Victorian Government;
and
Other investigations of future residential developments.
The Kaufland total trade area population is estimated at close to 240,000 at mid-2018,
including 218,000 in the main trade area and 64,000 in the primary sector. Over the most
recent intercensal period (2011 to 2016), the total trade area population increased by 1.3%
or almost 3,000 residents per annum.
Over the forecast period to 2031, the Kaufland total trade area population is projected to
grow at a modest rate of 0.7% to reach 263,000, including 240,000 in the main trade area. All
sectors within the Kaufland Mornington trade area are forecast to exhibit similar rates of
population growth (i.e. below 1%), including the primary sector, which is projected to reach
a population of 70,500 at 2031, reflecting an average annual growth rate of 0.7%.

2.3 Socio-demographic profile
Table 2.2 and Chart 2.1 detail the socio-demographic profile of the Kaufland Mornington
trade area population, sourced from the 2016 ABS Census of Population and Housing. The
profile is compared with benchmarks for metropolitan Melbourne and Australia, with the
key points to note including the following:
Main trade area residents earn incomes which are 10% below the metropolitan
Melbourne benchmark on both a per capita and household basis. The only sector to
record above average earnings capacity is the primary sector population, with residents in
this key sector earning incomes 5.6% above the metropolitan Melbourne benchmark.
The trade area has an older age profile compared to the metropolitan Melbourne
average, driven by a below average proportion of adults aged 20-39 years, as well as an
above average representation of residents aged 50 years and over.
The home ownership level of households in the main trade area, at 74.1%, is above the
metropolitan Melbourne, underpinned by households who own their homes outright.
This is particularly evident in the primary and secondary south sectors, where outright
home ownership is estimated at 41.1% and 43% respectively, compared with the
metropolitan Melbourne benchmark of 31.4%.
Residents in the Kaufland Mornington main trade area are predominantly Australia born,
accounting for almost 80% of residents.
Traditional families (i.e. households comprising couples with dependent children) account
for at 41.3% of all households in the main trade area, which is below the metropolitan
Melbourne average of 47.8%. All sectors exhibit a below average representation of
traditional families, except the primary sector, which is on par with the respective
benchmark. The next most prevalent household types within the Kaufland Mornington
main trade area are couples without children (24.3%) and lone person households
(12.4%), both of which are above the metropolitan Melbourne benchmark and reflect the
older age profile of the region.

2.4 Retail expenditure
The estimated retail expenditure capacity of the main trade area population is sourced from
MarketInfo, which is developed by Market Data Systems (MDS) and utilises a detailed micro
simulation model of household expenditure behaviour for all residents of Australia. The
model takes into account information from a wide variety of sources including the regular
ABS Household Expenditure Surveys, national accounts data, Census data and other
information. The MarketInfo estimates for spending behaviour prepared independently
by MDS are used by a majority of retail/property consultants.
Chart 2.2 details the estimated retail spending levels of the main trade area population on a
per capita basis in 2017/18. Retail spending per person within the Kaufland Mornington main
trade area is estimated at $14,510, which is 1.2% above the average per capita retail
expenditure of metropolitan Melbourne of $14,336.
Retail spending per capita within the Kaufland Mornington primary sector is estimated at
$15,493, which is 8.1% above the respective benchmark. All spending figures presented in
this report are expressed constant at 2017/18 dollars and include GST.

Table 2.3 details the estimated retail spending capacity of the total trade area population
over the forecast period of 2018 – 2031. The total retail expenditure capacity of the main
trade area population is estimated at $3,471 million in 2018, including $987 million in the
primary sector. The retail expenditure capacity of the total trade area population is projected
to increase to $4,292 million by 2031, including $1,222 million in the primary sector.

Primary sector
The Mornington Major Activity Centre is located on Main Street and is the largest Activity
Centre in the Shire, and plays a regional role, acting as a hub for retail, commercial and civic
activity. The Activity Centre contains two enclosed shopping centres. The sub-regional
Mornington Central is anchored by Target and Coles, and has a focus on apparel retailing
with a number of national fashion retailers (Just Jeans, Millers, Jeans West, Dotti, Rockmans,
Strandbags). Mornington Village SC is a neighbourhood centre anchored by Woolworths and
Aldi supermarkets and contains more convenience-based retail tenancies. Mornington
Village SC is slated for a small expansion of 2,700 sq.m, which is planned to be completed
in 2021.
The Activity Centre also contains a sizable strip retail component including a large provision
of food catering outlets including numerous cafes and quality restaurants; a wide selection
of women’s apparel stores, gift shops and homewares outlets; a number of services including
banks, real estate agents and convenience-oriented retail. Due to the scale and mix of the
Mornington Major Activity Centre, it serves a wide-ranging catchment across the Peninsula.
Located adjacent to the subject site is the Peninsula Home large-format retail centre. The
centre contains a number of prominent national furniture (Provincial Home Living, Early
Settlers, Fantastic Furniture), bedding (Snooze, Forty Winks, BedShed, Sheridan), homewares
(Harris Scarfe), fabric (Lincraft), sporting goods (Rebel) and appliances (Harvey Norman,
Good Guys, Godfreys) retailers. Other major large format operators trading at the centre
include Officeworks, PetStock and Repco. An Aldi opened at the centre in April 2016, and is
joined by a BWS and a discount chemist. A freestanding Bunnings Warehouse is situated
immediately south of Peninsula Home.
Located 4.1 km north-east of the subject site, the Mount Eliza Town Centre is anchored by a
Woolworths supermarket of 2,700 sq.m (having recently undergone a small expansion, while
refurbishment works continue) and a Ritchies IGA of around 1,500 sq.m. The predominantly
street-based retail plays an important function in serving the residents in the local area, with
the supermarket anchors supported by range of fresh food shops, cafés, take-away food

stores, restaurants and independent womenswear retailers. A number of commercial and
non-retail uses are located on Mount Eliza Way and Ranelagh Drive.
Situated 9 km south-west of the subject site, Bentons Square SC is the main retail
component of the Bentons Large Township Centre and is anchored by a large full-line
Woolworths supermarket of around 4,200 sq.m. The centre also encompasses a Dan
Murphy’s large format liquor outlet, a number of take-away food operators, and
convenience-oriented non-food specialties (newsagency, discount pharmacy optometrist,
hairdressers, beauty salons, dry-cleaners and clothing alterations). The key function of the
centre is to serve the weekly food, grocery and convenience oriented retail needs of
residents in the surrounding area.
The Mount Martha Town Centre is located further to the south and is situated on the coast.
The centre is anchored by an IGA supermarket and contains a range of specialty shops
including a number of restaurants, fresh food shops, several cafes and other convenience
retail outlets.
In terms of future competitive development, a 3,700 sq.m Coles supermarket is to be
developed at the former Masters Mornington building, approximately 3.4 km south of the
subject site. The centre is also planned to include other uses such as a Liquorland outlet, a
Goodlife Health Club and a Super Cheap Auto outlet.
Secondary north sector
Bayside SC in Frankston is the southernmost regional centre in Melbourne’s south-east and
benefits from a large catchment encompassing most of the Mornington Peninsula. The
centre is anchored by a Myer department store, Target and Kmart discount department
stores, and Coles, Safeway and Aldi supermarkets. Bayside SC includes a wide range of retail
specialty store floorspace particularly in the general retail and household goods categories.
There is a relative underprovision of apparel specialty floorspace, however, is largely offset
by the number of large apparel mini-majors at Bayside SC (TK Maxx, Best & Less, Ozmosis
and Country Road).
Section 3: Competition
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
32
Karingal Hub is a sub-regional centre located 3.8 km south-east of Bayside SC, anchored by a
Big W discount department store and two Woolworths supermarkets. The centre comprises
28,600 sq.m of retail floorspace and contains a five screen Village Cinema. In the past, there
were approved plans to expand Karingal Hub to include an Aldi supermarket, though it is
unknown if the development will proceed as planned.
Karingal Village is a small supermarket based centre located at the intersection of Karingal
Drive and Ashleigh Avenue. The centre is 3,500 sq.m in size and is anchored by a Coles
supermarket.
Secondary east sector
The Somerville Town Centre is anchored by four supermarkets, with Coles co-locating with
Target at Somerville Central and Woolworths situated adjacent at Somerville Plaza, on the
western side of the Stony Point railway line and Frankston-Flinders Road. A Ritchies IGA and
Aldi supermarkets are located on the eastern side of the Stony Point railway line and
Frankston-Flinders Road, with the physical divide resulting in poor integration of the Activity
Centre.
Also located in the secondary east sector is the Baxter Local Centre, with the Woolworths
anchored Baxter Shopping Centre forming the main retail component, which is supported by
six specialty tenants. There is small provision of strip retail adjoining the shopping centre on
Baxter-Tooradin Road.
Secondary south- east sector
The main function of the Hastings Major Activity Centre is to serve the residents in the
eastern parts of the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The Kmart and Aldi anchored Hastings
Central is situated in the southern parts of the Activity Centre, with a freestanding
Woolworths supermarket situated adjacent, with both facilities accessed by Victoria Street.
A full-line Coles is situated in the northern parts of the Activity Centre and can be accessed
by Victoria Street and King Street. Strip retailing is predominantly provided on High Street,
including an Ritchies IGA situated at the eastern boundary of the Activity Centre, while also
encompassing an ad hoc provision of mainly dated take-away food, general retail and service
tenants.
Section 3: Competition
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
33
Secondary south sector
The primary function of the Rosebud Major Activity Centre is to serve the weekly grocery
and high-order needs of residents in the southern parts of the Peninsula. The Activity Centre
extends approximately 2 km along Point Nepean Road/Nepean Highway, opposite the
Rosebud foreshore.
Rosebud Plaza SC is the key retail component of the Activity Centre and is anchored by dual
discount department stores, Kmart and Target, as well as full line Woolworths and Coles
supermarkets. A freestanding Aldi supermarket is situated some 200 metres east of
Rosebud Plaza fronting Point Nepean Road. Rosebud Central, located approximately 1.5 km
to the east, is anchored by a full-line Woolworths supermarket, while the Activity Centre
previously also accommodated a Ritchies Supa IGA of 2,400 sq.m, with a Dimmeys outlet
locating to the tenancy after the closure of the supermarket. The Activity Centre provides an
extensive range of retail specialties, which serve two key customer segments, residents in
the surrounding area, as well as visitors to the area.
Other key retail facilities in the secondary south sector include McCrae Plaza, which is
anchored by a small Coles supermarket of 1,800 sq.m (formerly Bi-Lo) and is located 3.2 km
east of Rosebud Plaza. Dromana Hub SC, the main retail component of the Dromana large
Township, and is anchored by a Ritchies Supa IGA supermarket of 2,650 sq.m.

Section 4: Assessment of supermarket need
This section provides a needs assessment for a Kaufland supermarket at the subject site.
4.1 Supermarket need in walkable catchment
Within a walkable catchment i.e. around 400 metres, there are an estimated 400 residents
surrounding the subject site. Given the limited population and the presence of an adjoining
Aldi supermarket, there is not considered a need for a supermarket in the localised
catchment. Furthermore, the Nepean Highway acts as a significant natural barrier, and it is
considered unlikely that any residents in the area would walk to the proposed store,
particularly those residing on the western side of the highway.
4.2 Supermarket need in trade area
To assess the potential need for additional supermarket floorspace in the trade area, this
sub-section provides an analysis of the quantum of supermarket floorspace in the area. Table
A1 in the Appendix presents the supermarket floorspace per 1,000 residents within the
primary sector and main trade area defined for Kaufland Mornington, and compares this
metric to the metropolitan Melbourne benchmark.
The main points to note regarding this analysis are outlined as follows:
Nationally, the supermarket floorspace provision is estimated at around 340 sq.m -
350 sq.m per 1,000 residents. In mainland state capital cities, though, average provision
decreases to around 306 sq.m per 1,000 residents. In Australia’s two largest population
centres (Sydney and Melbourne), which account for around 35-40% of Australia’s total
population, the rate of provision is below average, at 250 sq.m per 1,000 residents for
Sydney and 312 sq.m per 1,000 residents for Melbourne.
Within the primary sector, there is currently 292 sq.m of supermarket floorspace per
1,000 residents, which is slightly below the metropolitan Melbourne benchmark of
312 sq.m. However, the provision of supermarket floorspace in the primary sector is
Section 4: Assessment of supermarket need
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
35
projected to increase to 342 sq.m per 1,000 residents at 2021, once a Coles supermarket
is developed at the former Masters site in Mornington in the short term.
If a 5,500 sq.m Kaufland hypermarket were also to be developed in the short term,
supermarket floorspace per 1,000 residents in the primary sector would rise to a very
high 429 sq.m per at 2021.
Supermarket floorspace per 1,000 residents is estimated to be well above the
metropolitan Melbourne average throughout the forecast period, peaking at 397 sq.m
per 1,000 residents in 2021, assuming a Kaufland hypermarket is not developed at the
subject site. This indicates that the main trade area population is already adequately
served in terms of supermarket floorspace.
If a Kaufland hypermarket were to be developed in the short term, this is projected to
increase the overprovision of supermarket floorspace in the main trade area. The
addition of a 5,500 sq.m Kaufland is forecast to heighten supermarket floorspace to
423 sq.m in 2021 per 1,000 residents.
The supermarket floorspace provision within the Kaufland Mornington main trade area is
expected to be above average, given that the peninsula accommodates a large non-
permanent resident and tourist population, particularly during the peak holiday season.
According to the Mornington Peninsula Activity Centres Strategy, non-permanent residents
and tourists contributed $250 million or 14% of total retail sales on the Mornington
Peninsula to the local economy. However, the addition of a Kaufland supermarket as well as
the Coles Mornington supermarket will push the supermarket provision to be well above
average, which may have implications for the existing supermarkets in the area.
This analysis indicates that the existing provision of supermarkets in the Kaufland
Mornington main trade area is already serving the needs of the local community and visitors
to the area. Even after taking into account future population growth, there is no clear
indication that the local area requires another large supermarket, particularly as a new Coles
supermarket is to be developed at the former Master site in Mornington.

4.3 Additional supermarket need to address population growth
Table 4.1 presents the locations of the proposed Kaufland stores in metroplitan Melbourne,
and details the poppulation growth within the LGA of the respective stores. Epping and
Coolaroo form part of the northern growth corridor of Melbourne, with significant greenfield
population growth planned for those areas, with average annual growth rates of 2.9% and
2.8% respectively to 2031. Therefore, the proposed Kaufland stores at these locations will
serve radiply growing areas of Melbourne.
The outer metropolitan location of Dandenong (1.5%) is forecast to record solid population
growth, while the more established areas of Monash and the Yarra Ranges, like Mornington,
are projected to record modest growth of over the period to 2031. Based on this analysis,
the planned Kaufland stores at Epping, Coolaroo and Dandenong would be well placed to
serve the growing needs of the respective catchments, while the proposed stores at
Mornington, Oakleigh and Chirnside Park would serve catchments that are not projected to
accommodate substantial amount of population growth over the forecast period.
Overall, the rate of population growth projected to occur in the Mornington catchment does
not clearly warrant the development of an additional large supermarket in the short term.
The development of the approved new Coles supermarket and the expansion of existing
supermarkets is considered adequate to serve the needs of future residents moving into the
area in the medium term.

4.4 Activity centre hierarchy and out-of-centre considerations
The subject site, together with the adjoining Peninsula Hub Homemaker centre, is
Industrial 3 Zone and sits outside of the Activity Centres hierarchy as detailed in the
Mornington Peninsula Activity Centre Strategy. The Peninsula Hub contains mostly large
format retail stores, together with an Aldi supermarket of around 1,500 sq.m. Small scale
supermarkets of up to 1,800 sq.m are permitted in the Industrial 3 Zone, which is a size of
supermarket which cannot offer a full range of products and supermarkets of this scale are
mostly used for top-up shopping.
Currently Peninsula Hub and the adjoining Bunnings store serve a destinational role,
accommodating retailers which require large footprints and are mostly visited by the
surrounding population on an occasional basis. The opening of a large full range
supermarket, which would serve the weekly shopping needs of residents, would have a
substantial change to the composition and offer of the out-of-centre development.
The Strategy details that out-of-centre developments are important but are primarily to
include homemaker retail, showrooms, trade supplies, light industry, and other businesses
and community facilities. A full scale supermarket is not a use considered appropriate for an
out-of-centre development according to the Strategy. Objective 7 of the Strategy dictates
Council ‘closely monitor out-of-centre development….to ensure that commercial development
occurring away from activity centres identified in the hierarchy contributes to the
achievement of a net community benefit and does not undermine activity centre policy’.
The Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme (Clause 21.07-3) outlines the direction to
discourage traditional retail uses in out-of-centre developments. In particular, the Scheme
state that ‘Out-of-centre retail, service station and office developments detract from compact
urban patterns. This is detrimental to the established hierarchy of centres and should be
avoided.’ The Scheme outlines the important function of the hierarchy of Activity Centres on
the Mornington Peninsula, and that each centre has unique character and serves the
particular needs of the local community. It further states that a development which may
impact on the role served by Activity Centres on the Mornington Peninsula should be
avoided.
Section 4: Assessment of supermarket need
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
38
The development of a large supermarket, which will offer a large range of food and grocery
goods, at an out-of-centre development will significantly alter the retail offer at the locality.
The combination of a Kaufland supermarket together with Peninsula Hub will provide a
substantial amount of both food and non-food facilities. This will in effect create a new
Activity Centre outside of the existing Activity Centre hierarchy, which has the potential to
impact on roles served by other Activity Centres in the area.
In summary, the development of the Kaufland Mornington store could affect the current
Activity Centres hierarchy, therefore, it could be concluded that the development may
undermine the Activity Centre policy. The development of a Kaufland supermarket at the
subject site does not support the existing Activity Centre hierarchy detailed in the
Mornington Peninsula Activity Centres Strategy and certainly does not “re-affirm the primacy
of Mornington Peninsula’s Major Activity Centre in the activity centres hierarchy”.
Alternate sites
Another consideration is the availability of alternate sites which could accommodate a
Kaufland supermarket. Our investigation revealed that there appears to be no suitable sites
on Commercial Zone land which could accommodate a Kaufland supermarket. In the local
area the only vacant sites sufficiently large enough to accommodate such a development are
located within the Industrial 3 Zone area on Mornington Tyabb Road. The former Master site
would have been a possible alternate site, though the site is to be redeveloped to
accommodate a Coles supermarket and other retail uses. There may be alternative sites
located near the Peninsula Link Freeway, though the land surrounding the freeway is not
zoned for commercial uses.

Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
This section of the report provides estimates of sales potential for the proposed Kaufland
store supermarket, as well as a review of the potential impacts the development may have
on existing centres in the area, as well as an overview of possible community benefits.
5.1 Estimated sales potential
Prior to being able to consider the question of potential economic impacts that
may arise from the development of the Kaufland Mornington supermarket, the necessary
first step is to seek to quantify the level of sales that the hypermarket can expect to achieve.
The performance of Kaufland hypermarkets in Australia are an unknown quantity, with no
historical precedence for reference. That being said, the performance of other supermarket
operators in the Australian market can provide a point of guidance in reasonably estimating
the likely order of sales the store could be expected to achieve.
An important additional factor which needs to be taken into account in assessing the
sales potential of new Kaufland stores is the size of the store, which in most cases will be
roughly twice the size of a typical Woolworths or Coles supermarket, and approximately
four times the size of a typical Aldi store.
The offer of Kaufland, its status as a destinational retailer and the wide-ranging catchment it
is likely to serve are also major factors in estimating the sales of the proposed store. In
addition to a full-line supermarket offer, Kaufland will also carry a range of non-food
discount department store type items, including household goods, electrical items, basic
apparel, as well as general household items. There are two important implications of this –
the first, is the destinational nature of the Kaufland store, which due to the scale and mix of
the offer is likely to serve a wide ranging catchment. The Kaufland Mornington is likely to
serve a catchment encompassing the entirety of the Mornington Peninsula Shire and parts of
the City of Frankston to varying degrees. The total trade area population is estimated at a
substantial over 239,000 in 2018, and is projected to reach 263,000 at 2031. The second
Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
40
implication, is that non-food items generally generate a much lower sales productivity level
compared to supermarkets. Whereas, supermarket operated by the major players
Woolworths, Coles and Aldi on average achieve sales productivity levels in excess of $10,000
per sq.m, discount department store retail generally achieves sales productivity levels within
the $3,000 - 4,000 per sq.m range.
Finally, locational factors are also taken into account, including the location of the subject
site on Nepean Highway, a major highway which offers strong regional connectivity,
exposing the proposed store to 29,000 average daily vehicular movements; and the network
of competing retail facilities in the surrounding region.
Having regard to all of these factors, the estimated sales performance for the Kaufland
Mornington store is expected to fall within the range of $42 - $46 million in its first year of
trade. The overwhelming majority of store sales are expected to be attributed to food, liquor
and grocery items, estimated at around 80 - 85%, while the residual 15 - 20% accounts for
non-food items.
With a large store footprint, average sales volumes per store are expected to generally
be greater, than the levels achieved by existing Australian supermarkets, while sales
productivity levels are forecast to be lower.
The sales performance of Kaufland can reasonably be expected to grow over time. As
consumers increasingly recognize the Kaufland brand and better understand the value
proposition that it provides, the sales of the Kaufland stores can experience a gradual uptick
over the medium term. It is noted that Aldi stores and Costco warehouse both traded below
current levels when they first entered the Australian market. Aldi generally traded at
productivity levels noticeably lower than either Woolworths or Coles supermarkets at the
time of entry, despite the fact that the Aldi store footprint is much smaller. Both operators
took a number of years to embed themselves into the public psyche and the supermarket
sector at large.

Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment

5.2 Estimated impacts
A number of factors need to be taken into account in the consideration of the likely broad
trading impacts of the proposed Kaufland Mornington supermarket on other retail facilities.
Such projections must be considered as indicative only, for the simple reason that it is very
difficult to predict with certainty the precise impact on any one retailer or any one centre
that will result from a change to the retail structure serving a particular area or region.
This impact analysis considers the likely broad changes in competitive circumstances, and in
particular the changes in availability of retail expenditure for competitive centres that can
reasonably be expected to result from the development of the Kaufland Mornington. These
broad changes effectively set the market conditions within which all competitive
centres will operate as a result of the addition of the proposed Kaufland Mornington
supermarket, and reasonable conclusions can then be drawn about the possible impacts and
subsequent consequences of these broad changes in market conditions.
The projected sales for the Kaufland Mornington in FY21 would result in a redirection of
spending to the supermarket from a range of other centres located both within the primary
sector and throughout the wider main trade area. In order to estimate the likely order of
these impacts, we have had particular regard to the location and composition (existing and
proposed) of each centre relative to the proposed Kaufland Mornington supermarket and
their respective roles in the region.
The following factors will all be of relevance in terms of how the likely impacts will play out:
The distance of the (impacted) centre, by road, from the proposed development.
The size of the centre, in terms of total relevant retail floorspace. More specifically in this
instance, the amount of supermarket floorspace available is the most important factor to
consider.
The brand of the anchor tenant(s) with the relevant supermarket anchors again being the
key factor.
Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
42
The respective role and function of each centre. For example, a centre might be oriented
towards convenience retailing, higher order retailing/homewares, or it might primarily
service a worker/transit market.
The relative accessibility and convenience of the impacted centre compared with the
proposed retail development.
The estimated performance of the centre (in current sales) and projected future
performance. This accounts for any future developments in the region that might also
impact on the future sales of existing centres.
When assessing the dollar (and percentage) impacts that are likely to be absorbed by existing
facilities/centres, the greatest impacts are typically absorbed by the closest comparable
stores/centres in terms of offer. For example, a new Coles supermarket is generally likely to
impact the closest nearby Coles supermarket to the greatest extent, followed by impacts on
other comparable supermarkets (e.g. Woolworths). In this instance, a Kaufland store is likely
to impact supermarket competitors the most, particular full range Coles and Woolworth
supermarkets as well as Aldi supermarkets which offer a discount model.
Appendix Table A2 presents a summary of the projected sales estimates for competitive
centres surrounding the Kaufland Mornington development, as well as our assessment of the
likely order of impacts. All figures are expressed in constant 2017/18 dollars and include GST,
and show the following:
The estimated FY18 sales potential for each of the existing activity centres. The FY18
estimates have been derived based on physical inspection of each centre, and also
drawing on publicly available information. An appropriate sales productivity level is then
applied to each supermarket.
The projected sales potential for activity centre/retail anchor at FY21, which is assumed
to be the first full trading year for the proposed Kaufland Mornington. The sales potential
for each activity centre/retail anchor at FY21 is shown under two scenarios – the first
assuming no development of the Kaufland Mornington (i.e. a ‘status quo’ scenario) and
the second assuming that the Kaufland Mornington is developed. The impact of the Coles
Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
43
Mornington development has been factored into the estimated FY21 sales of surrounding
supermarkets.
The no development scenario allows for the sales potential for each existing centre to
increase in line with the underlying growth in retail expenditure capacity of the
surrounding area. The estimates of centre sales potential after impact (i.e. assuming
development of the Kaufland Mornington) is then calculated by allocating the anticipated
impacts on each activity centre/retail anchor from Kaufland Mornington.
The estimated impacts on each centre at FY21, in dollar terms and in percentage terms
respectively, resulting from the proposed development of the Kaufland Mornington.
The following observations and conclusions can be drawn from this impact analysis:
Existing full range supermarkets in the primary sector are projected to experience modest
impacts of up to approximately 5 - 6% following the development of Kaufland
Mornington, with impacts expected to be larger on the Aldi supermarkets which are
considered to be a closer competitor to Kaufland.
Kaufland Mornington is expected to divert some business from the Mount Eliza Town
Centre, predominantly due to its proximity, with impacts expected to be around 3% for
the supermarkets.
The potential impacts on specific anchors in the secondary sectors are expected to be
relatively minor, estimated up to 2%.
The overall impact of Kaufland Mornington on the identified retailers/retail precincts
within the main trade area is estimated to be relative modest at 2.5% of FY21 sales.
This analysis assumes that 20% of sales are generated from the beyond the main trade
area, including the tertiary south sector. This reflects the destinational attraction of the
Kaufland offer, the regional accessibility of the Kaufland site and the strong non-
permanent and tourist population who visit the Mornington Peninsula.
Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
44
As population growth in the Kaufland Mornington trade area is modest (projected at 0.7%
per annum over the forecast period), the development of the Kaufland supermarket will
limit the growth potential of existing activity centres in the area.
Overall, while the forecast sales of Kaufland Mornington is substantial, estimated at between
$42 - 46 million in FY21, the potential impacts on the surrounding network of activity centre
are considered modest, as the impacts will be spread across a broad range of facilities. This
analysis indicates that no existing operator will be impacted to an extent which will imperil
their operations. Similarly, the trading impacts are unlikely to have a substantial effect on
the overall performance of the network surrounding Activity Centres, and all centres will be
able to continue to serve their role in serving the needs of the local community.
5.3 Potential community benefits
The development of Kaufland Mornington has the potential to result in a range of
community benefits, summarised as follows:
Improving shopping choice and convenience for the surrounding population. Kaufland
Mornington will bring an experienced operator to the Mornington Peninsula, expanding
the range of previously unavailable products and brands to the surrounding population
providing greater choice and convenience for the consumer;
Potential downward pressure on prices. The entry of another operator in the
supermarket sector is likely to have a deflationary effect on grocery and food prices as a
result of stronger competition. The recent Coles campaigns and the disruption of the
discount Aldi model have highlighted the sway of price competition, and the entry of
Kaufland is likely to heighten this theme.
The development of Kaufland Mornington will add to the provision of retail floorspace in
the area, and would result in a reduction of retail expenditure escaping from the
Peninsula.
Section 5: Sales outlook and impacts
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment
45
Kaufland Mornington will create a number of new jobs during the construction and
related industries during the construction phase, and for the local economy once
completed.
5.4 Other considerations
The subject site is currently zoned Industrial 3, and if Kaufland Mornington were to be
developed, this will likely require a rezoning of the site. The consequence of this is that it will
detract from the provision of industrial employment land within the Shire.
In addition, in line with the Mornington Peninsula Activity Centre Strategy which details a
need for a close monitoring of out-of-centre development, diligent care must be applied
when considering an appropriate zone for the subject site to ensure Council maintains
contain over any potential future development at the site. Rezoning the entire subject site
(including the adjacent land occupied by the Bata Shoe Company) to Commercial 1 for
example, could open the site up to a range of future commercial developments, such as
additional retail, which may result in a material impact on surrounding activity centres and
the primacy of the Mornington MAC, if redeveloped in the future.
Kaufland MorningtonEconomic Impact Assessment

Section 6: Conclusion
The Kaufland Mornington trade area is currently adequately served by the existing provision
of supermarket floorspace. Within the Kaufland Mornington primary sector, there is
currently 292 sq.m of supermarket floorpsace per 1,000 residents, which is slightly below the
metropolitan Melbourne benchmark of 312 sq.m. However, the provision of supermarket
floorspace is expected to be above average following the development of Coles Mornington
at the former Masters site. Even after taking into account future population growth, there is
no clear indication that the local area requires another large supermarket in the short term.
While the estimated sales potential of Kaufland Mornington is substantial, the trading
impacts on surrounding activity centres and retail facilities will be spread across the
peninsula, as a result of the broad and wide-ranging destinational draw of the retailer.
Consequently, modest decreases in trading levels of surrounding activity centres are
expected as a result of the opening of Kaufland Mornington.
There are a number of economic benefits which may arise from the development of
Kaufland Mornington for both the consumer and the local economy. For the consumer, the
entry of an experienced supermarket operator will create greater choice and convenience, as
well as potentially creating downward pressure on food and grocery prices as a result of
greater competition. For the local economy, the development of Kaufland Mornington is
likely to result in the creation of additional employment. However, the net community
benefit would be limited by the presence of the Aldi discount supermarket at Peninsula
Home, adjacent to the subject site, which already provides a supermarket in the locality.
Overall, the development of Kaufland Mornington is not expected to have a significant
impact on any one retailer or Activity Centre, is not expected to impact on the primary of the
Mornington Activity Centre and will likely result in a number of community benefits.
However, the arguments to support a new large supermarket on Industrial 3 Zone land in
out-of-centre development are potentially outweighed by the potential impact the
development may have on the Activity Centre hierarchy of the area, and on balance it is not
clear that a net community benefit would result from the proposed development.
