Costco has received official approval to build a new warehouse in Alkimos, in Perth’s northern suburbs, following clearance of a planning hurdle. The project is estimated to cost about $80 million, according to reports. The planned store is set to become Costco’s third warehouse in the Perth area and its first location north of the Swan River. The approval allows the development to proceed to the next stages of delivery for the retailer’s expansion in Western Australia. While details of the specific site and timelines are not provided in the available summaries, the approvals reported indicate the development has passed the relevant planning step required before construction can move forward. With the Alkimos site, Costco expands its presence beyond its existing Perth warehouses, aiming to serve customers in the northern parts of the metropolitan area.
