Freshwater Village Update: Dining, Medical, and Woolworths Precincts Rapidly Advancing

New structures are now clearly visible on site, providing a real sense of the scale and vision for the development. It’s exciting to see Freshwater Village continuing to take shape, and we hope the community shares in that excitement as progress continues.

Here’s what’s been happening on site:
*Dining precinct structure – Structural steel er****on for the dining precinct is now complete, and the shape of Freshwater Village is becoming increasingly visible on site.
*Medical Centre precinct – Ground floor blockwork is substantially complete. The lower-level concrete floor slab has now been poured, with installation of the upper floor structure scheduled to commence later this month.
*Woolworths – Structural steel over the entry foyer has been completed, and the majority of the front-of-house floor slab has now been poured. Underground services are nearing completion, allowing the remaining floor slab works to progress.

Freshwater Village Moves Forward:
Roads and Shopping Centre Update

Progress along Brays Road is coming along nicely, and the end is in sight. Construction on the northern verge is now in its closing stages, with streetlights proudly in place and kerbs and footpaths nearing completion.

In the weeks ahead, See Civil will transition traffic onto the newly completed northern side—an important milestone in the road’s transformation.

Beyond the roadworks, Freshwater Village has hit the ground running in the new year. The supermarket building is making a bold statement, with tilt slabs now standing tall and structural steel rising quickly into place.
