The project involved a $100 million redevelopment of Sydney’s leading retail factory outlet to accommodate an expansion from 86 stores over a single level, to feature 126 stores over two levels. Set for completion in 2014, the upgraded centre will combine factory outlets and homemaker centre including 90 fashion retail tenancies, 18 bulky goods stores and a 475 seat food court dining precinct. The redevelopment also included significant upgrade of the existing car parking facilities and associated landscaping.

Group DLA were engaged as the appointed Accredited Certifier / Principal Certifying Authority (PCA), responsible for issue of Part 4A Construction and Occupation Certificates over the multi staged program, made more challenging as the centre remained operation throughout construction. Our involvement included the assessment of extensive Fire Engineered and Accessibility performance based Alternative Solutions.
