ALDI is a step closer to opening at Morley’s Galleria.

Bayswater council’s development committee this week welcomed the supermarket chain’s $2.3 million plans for a store at the centre, just off Rudloc Road.

Set on a 17-hectare block, the store will replace the Morley library and Derrick Ernst Neighbourhood Centre.

The council has plans to move the library to the Les Hansman Community Centre from January (the lease expires December 27).

ALDI’s plans are out for public comment for a fortnight, and will be tabled at a joint development assessment panel meeting (the application isn’t going to the elected council).

ALDI’s media team failed to respond to Voice questions about the likely opening date.
