IT’S the picture many in Gracemere doubted they would ever see, but after years of inaction heavy machinery was operating on the site of Gracemere’s long-awaited shopping centre yesterday.
The McConaghy Group, developer of the $30 million project, said Stage 1 would be completed in nine to 12 months, bringing a 3800 square metre Woolworths supermarket, a junior department store, liquor store and 25 speciality shops, as well as fast-food outlets.
The company said up to 100 workers would be on site once construction gets under way in earnest.
