  • Submission on the Productive Economy Policy Discussion Paper
    From: Roger Drake Sent: Tuesday, 19 February 2019 4:35 PM To: DPTI:Planning Engagement Subject: Shopping Centre Zoning Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged To Whom it May Concern Drakes Supermarkets is a privately owned supermarket group, employing some 6000 staff and operating 37 supermarkets in South Australia; and we have been investing in the States independent supermarket retail market since 1974 with not only supermarkets, but also newsagencies and licensed post offices. As the owner of the business, I believe in the “centre hierarchy approach” (ie there should be a regional centre, a district centre and a local or neighbourhood centre.) Retailers like us have invested large amounts of money knowing there is some protection. I am gravely concerned when we see larger corporations (ie Coles, Woolworths, Aldi & especially Kaufland) investing outside the existing zoning requirements. If people are to invest in retail shopping zones, I believe they need some security knowing their investment has the ability to serve the community but also able to sustain competition. It is easy for the large players to invest outside the current zones knowing full well that the land they acquire is cheaper but all this does is splits the existing zoning. A perfect example of what I call “bad planning” is the Port Canal Development; whereby clearly there was a zone at the centre of Port Adelaide, and then another zone was created; namely the Port Canal, and now we have what I believe is two substandard shopping centre developments. This is just one example, and there are plenty more examples, especially when we examine country towns.

  • ASX/MEDIA RELEASE Monday, 20 September 2010
    ASX/MEDIA RELEASE Monday, 20 September 2010 QUEENSLAND SUPERMARKET GROUP TO STOCK 90 PER CENT BIODEGRADABLE DISPOSAL NAPPY RANGE A leading independent Queensland supermarket chain will next month commence retailing a range of 90 per cent biodegradable disposable nappies and 100 per cent biodegradable wipes from clean technology company, EcoQuest Limited (ASX: ECQ). The Company announced today the Luke’s Supa IGA Group had confirmed acceptance of its Little Takas range of nappies and wipes, which will be available to the public in its stores from 4 October 2010. The Luke’s Supa IGA Group owns and operates seven supermarkets in the broader Sunshine Coast area. Nineteen supermarkets in Queensland will now stock the nappies and wipes, following the decision by Drakes Supermarkets to sell the range in its 12 Queensland-owned stores. From 4 October 2010, 109 supermarkets in three states will now stock EcoQuest’s Little Takas range of biodegradable disposable nappies and wipes “The rapidly increasing acceptance of our environmentally-friendly Little Takas range of nappies and wipes by independent supermarket chains across the country has been outstanding,” EcoQuest Chairman, Ms Sylvia Tulloch, said today. “We believe it is indicative of consumers’ increased appetite for ‘green’ products, whatever those products are, and the effect that demand is having on retailers,” she said. “It’s a global trend that shows no signs of abating. “EcoQuest is confident more and more retailers will want to stock our Little Takas nappy and wipes range as knowledge and information about both their high level of biodegradability and comfort for infants spreads.
