"Charming Spotswood"
My partner and I have lived in Spotswood for 2 years and love it. We previously rented in South Yarra which we loved but the traffic was awful. Spotswood is quaint and quiet almost like a country town, but still only 10mins into the city. Spotswood is nicely positioned between Yarraville and Williamstown without the same price tag. Lots of period homes on bigger blocks than Yarraville. The shopping strip on Hudsons Rd is only small but has 3 good cafes, take away food and a post office/newsagents. There are also plans to build a Safeway and Aldi supermarkets and medical center on Melbourne rd, near the primary school. We are extremely happy living here.

It was in the local paper a while back. You can read the article here: http://hobsons-bay-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/spotswood-wakes/
I am not certain if it is a Safeway but it is certainly an Aldi and a large chain supermarket, also apartments and a medical center. Plans are at town planning stage as far as I am aware.
I live near by. We've recently received letters from council giving us opportunity to oppose if we feel the need to as it will effect our property being so close by. There will also be apartments on top of shops if they are still going ahead with it. We'd much rather a shopping centre with apartments than slumping warehouses though this will bring more traffic to our little area. However, we have no idea when this will be completed.
We live nearby also. We are the same a supermarket would be convenient and apartments much nicer to see than an empty warehouse, but realise it will bring more traffic to spotswood which is currently very quiet. The shopping center in Yarraville doesnt seem to create a lot of traffic so hoping this proposal would be the same. Also hoping the supermarket is open no later than midnight. I have no idea either when this will be complete.
Hi,
We recently bought into Spotswood and I am interested to find out more about this Safeway on Melbourne road.
Where did you read this?
