When will construction start?

Major construction of the first stage is anticipated to begin in July 2026. Completion of the town square is forecast for early 2027.

The first stage of the City Centre project includes the 2,000 square metre town square designed to accommodate both small to medium-sized events and everyday community use. Plans include a central boulevard, a stage and performance lawn, varied seating options, an interactive area adjacent to hospitality, and a mix of native and ornamental plantings. A new plaza connection between Hutchinson and Stephen Streets, providing pedestrian and vehicle access and a flexible area for larger events will also be included.
