The project has provided Stockland Wetherill Park Shopping Centre with an additional 16,703m2 of GLA to the existing 46,495m2 centre, comprising an additional 96 retail stores, seven mini-majors, a 680-seat gourmet food hall, a 704-vehicle car park and an upgraded Hoyts cinema.   The construction of the project was carried out while the existing centre remained fully operational. To satisfy this contract condition, the project was planned around completion in two main stages, with each stage broken into different separable portions. Within each separable portion there were usually numerous sub-portions to be completed in order to keep the existing centre trading. This was a major logistical and planning challenge for the project team.  One of the major construction challenges was to increase the floor-to-floor height under the Hoyts cinema by 2m to 4.5m to convert an existing car park into retail mall and tenancy space. This was successfully achieved while the Hoyts cinema above remained fully operational.   The project is the first of its kind to achieve a 5-Star Green Star design rating.  The completion of the works, as planned in separable portions, resulted in this complex project being completed in 24 months, with practical completion achieved three months early, enabling it to trade for Christmas 2015. This result and the high standard of workmanship and finishes achieved is a credit to the skill and experience of the builder’s project design and construction team.
