Currently (Dec 2014) it is a regular store with a flat roof, and lots of solar panels on it.
There had been a proposed 'Alcohol' section to be approved by the local Greater Taree City Council. [I had been informed that even though the store purchased a Liquor Licence, from a hotel that closed in Taree, that even on the third application for an Alcohol Sales Licence it was not approved.] There are two ramps up from the undercover car park - one by the roadside of Commerce Street, and the other a switchback ramp from near the trolley collection bay. The undercover parking does get locked up after store hours! Or there is a lift up from the under car park.
They're all friendly staff, and have well stocked shelves. Good supply of trolleys, and shopping baskets available as well. Generally there are adequate parking spaces underneath, with the entrance from Wynter Street.
In 2018 there was additional parking made, up an external ramp from the Wynter Street entry to car park. [With a shorter ramp or stairs directly opposite the entrance to the Emergency Department of the Manning Hospital.]
EDIT - September 2023 A boom gate has been installed on the Wynter Street entrance, with the first TWO hours FREE
2 - 3 hours: $5
3 - 4 hours: $10
4+ hours (Max): $25
They are really trying to crack down on visitors and workers of the hospital abusing the closeness of the car park. All done with ticketless parking - Licence Plate Recognition 24/7
EDIT, 2022
By my reckoning, as at 2022, the next closest ALDI stores are:
Forster, 32.6km South,
Port Macquarie, 67km NE,
Salamander Bay, 97km South,
Kempsey, 99.3km North
