Strategic Retail Gateway in Benalla: McMullin Leads Development with Foundation Tenant Super Cheap Auto
McMullin, in partnership with The Spargo Group, is proud to deliver a new 2,087 sqm large-format retail development at the gateway to Benalla’s central business and retail district. Positioned on the main arterial road into town, this site offers unmatched exposure, seamless access, and is strategically aligned with the town’s long-term commercial growth. Expected to open its doors by mid-2026.
The cornerstone tenant, Super Cheap Auto, has committed to the project in recognition of the site’s prime location and accessibility. Their presence not only anchors the development but also affirms Benalla’s strength as a regional retail destination.
A Purpose-Built Design for Performance and Flexibility
McMullin’s design approach prioritises both function and form, creating a high-amenity retail environment that suits a wide range of national tenants. The development comprises two large tenancies:
- Tenancy A: 1,000 sqm
- Tenancy B: 1,021 sqm
Each tenancy is designed with large-format adaptability in mind, with generous display zones, dedicated airlocks, back-of-house facilities, accessible amenities, and integrated office and staff areas. Clear span layouts ensure internal flexibility, while extensive glazing enhances customer engagement and visual impact.
Site Features and Customer Accessibility
- Total Site Area: 4,469 sqm
- Total Building Area: 2,087 sqm (46.7% site coverage)
- Car Parking: 58 standard bays, 2 DDA bays, and 1 DDA clearance bay
- Dedicated Loading Bay: 51 sqm for efficient stock delivery
- Bike Parking: 6 secure spaces
- Solar: Roof space provisioned for solar infrastructure

Designed with both tenants and customers in mind, the development includes quality external finishes, accessible pedestrian pathways, and strong visual identity through a pylon sign at the Bridge Street frontage.
