ALDI is looking at opening a store in Morley.

The Voice understands the Galleria is one of the sites being considered by the budget supermarket chain.

“As a part of our Western Australia expansion plans, ALDI has identified Morley as a catchment area with sites of interest,” said an ALDI Australia spokesperson.

“We are in the early stages of planning and will be able to share further details once our plans progress.”

Last October, ALDI outlined plans to invest $700 million building two distribution centres and as many as 130 stores in WA and SA.

The Galleria is also home to the council-owned Max Tulley Centre and a child care centre.

Earlier this year, it was mooted the facilities could be relocated to a new multi-million dollar Les Hansman Community Centre in Morley.

In a meeting closed to the public last year, Bayswater council voted to shift the library to the Morley sport and recreation centre by 2016.

The peppercorn lease for the library expired last September, prompting the decision to shift.
