BUTLER Central’s supermarket will open mid-December, with the rest of the shopping centre to open in March.

“The commercial sites in the business park north are located along Landbeach Avenue which is adjacent to the future freeway access and high traffic areas including Marmion Avenue and is walking distance to the Butler train station.

Mr Satterley said the commercial land still available totalled 4ha and was presently divided between 17 separate sites of 1089-5244sq m.
