Riverlea Construction Update – August 2026
Welcome to your August Construction Update. This month, Priceline Pharmacy opened at The Palms Shopping Village, adding another everyday service to the growing precinct.
Landscaping is also progressing around the village, while construction continues across several stages, with some anticipated to reach settlement in the coming months.
More Services Arrive at The Palms
Priceline Pharmacy welcomed its first customers at The Palms Shopping Village on Wednesday 5 August, marking another exciting milestone for the precinct and the wider Riverlea community.
Its opening adds to the growing range of retailers and services now available at The Palms, bringing greater convenience closer to home for residents.
Works are also continuing across the remaining areas of the shopping village, with the final portion of the centre progressing ahead of upcoming retailer openings.
Landscaping Works Continue Around The Palms
Following completion of the Central Drive intersection and surrounding civil works, landscaping is now underway along Riverlea Boulevard, Central Drive and Guilding Terrace.
Works include new planting and green spaces around The Palms Shopping Village, helping complete the streetscape and improve the arrival experience into the precinct.
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).
