Development Update - February 2025
General Update
Progress since our last update in October has been gaining momentum as The Fernery apartment block has steadily risen from the ground, and progress is also evident across the remainder of the project. The picture (at right) shows The Fernery worksite with preparations being made for further slab pours.
In common with the construction industry as a whole, the project has experienced ongoing impacts from skills shortages and increases in the cost of materials that show few signs of improvement. In addition to these conditions, there have been a number of adverse weather events that have affected the project timeline. The builder, Broad Constructions, recently advised that the completion date for the project will be in Q2 of 2026.
