Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association NSW state secretary Bernie Smith said 300 of those jobs were in the Woolworths and Big W on the corner building.
"There's not a suitable floor space currently available to relocate that shop, as far as we are aware, that would actually preserve all of those jobs," Mr Smith said."
