Riverlea Construction Update – July 2025
Construction activity across Riverlea continues to move forward with key milestones achieved including major infrastructure works on The Palms Shopping Village, and civil and landscaping improvements throughout the community.
Construction on The Palms Shopping Village is advancing with roofing now underway on the Coles building, and ground floor slabs and structural steel works continuing across the different tenancies. The childcare centre has also reached a significant milestone, with its ground floor slab now poured and ready for the next phase of construction.
Within the community, landscaping along Riverlea Boulevard is nearing completion with shared paths now open and final planting and balustrade installation scheduled for early July.
The drainage channel is also progressing well, with turfing and tree planting underway to establish a new green corridor. Remaining works, including final footpath construction, lighting, and pedestrian bridge balustrading are due for completion by the end of August.
Riverlea continues to evolve into a vibrant and well-connected community. For regular updates, download the Riverlea Lifestyle App via the App Store or Google Play.
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).
