Riverlea Construction Update – February 2026
As we step into 2026, construction across Riverlea continues to gather momentum, setting the scene for an exciting year of progress ahead. Key milestones are taking shape across the community, from new everyday conveniences to growing green spaces and improved connections. Each step forward brings Riverlea closer to the vibrant, connected community it has been thoughtfully designed to become.
Construction Progress at The Palms Shopping Village
The Palms Shopping Village is rapidly coming to life, with strong progress continuing across the precinct. Coles and Liquorland are now well into internal fit-out, with key finishes taking shape as these spaces continue to come together.
The Health and Wellness building has reached an important milestone, with structural framing and services progressing across multiple levels. Roofing is now complete across the Fresh Food and Food and Beverage buildings, marking a major step towards a vibrant destination filled with places to gather and enjoy.
As palm trees are planted, brickwork rises and civil works move ahead, Riverlea’s first shopping centre is becoming a reality, bringing the ease of everyday shopping and essential services closer to home.
Riverlea Boulevard Extension
Works continue on Riverlea Boulevard as the extension progresses towards the future schools and sports precinct. Road, stormwater and pavement works are moving ahead, marking steady progress across this key distributor road.
Once complete, this important extension will improve access and connectivity, supporting everyday movement across Riverlea as the community continues to grow.
Kelvin Trimper Reserve Takes Shape
Planning is progressing for Kelvin Trimper Reserve in Stage 40, Riverlea’s next local neighbourhood reserve. Community feedback on the hero feature closes today, helping shape this new space for residents to enjoy.
With works progressing, the reserve will create a welcoming place for residents to relax, connect and enjoy everyday life at Riverlea.

Step Descriptions
Earthworks
Clear the existing area. Cut and fill the stage to the designed levels.
Soil Testing
In order to complete the design of a house, the builder’s engineer will need to visit the lot and drill into the ground to take soil samples. Once the ground has been tested the engineer will be able to design the floor slab, specific to that lot. The lot can be accessed for soil testing towards the end of civil works. Survey pegs need to be present in order for the engineer to identify the lot.
Sewer & Drainage
Installation of underground services to connect your allotment to the wider infrastructure.
Roads & Footpath
Creation of road infrastructure and footpath connecting your allotment to the community.
Valuations
Financiers/Banks will require a physical valuation of the lot in order to provide finance. A third-party valuer will be assigned by the bank to visit the site and provide a valuation of the land. In order to facilitate this, the lot requires survey pegs in place with the lot number listed. This is typically available in the final weeks leading up to civil works completion.
Site Survey
In order for the builder to finalise their design, the lot will need to be surveyed. A surveyor can only complete the site survey once roads, kerbs, and footpaths are installed, along with the finished grading of the lot. This is typically only available once civil works are fully complete.
Site Pegging
Boundary pegs are placed on the perimeter or corners of your property’s land boundaries to physically mark out the land’s boundary.
Service Connections
Further underground services are installed including water, gas, electricity and communications (nbn).
