Maitland residents are still left in the dark over whether or not the planned development of an ALDI supermarket will go ahead, 3 years after the plans were drawn up.
The plans to build an ALDI store in the Maitland city centre were confirmed three years ago and was aimed to be open 18 months later.
ALDI remains tight-lipped about the project, with rumours circulating about the store's possible location and whether it will ever be built.
Maitland Mayor Peter Blackmore says he is waiting anxiously to hear from the supermarket giant.
"I don't understand why it's taking so long to make an announcement".
"The time is right to develop it now as Stockland Greenhills is under construction".
