Riverlea Construction Update – September 2026
Welcome to your September Construction Update. Last month, Stage 39 buyers joined us on site to walk their allotments for the first time, marking a special milestone in their journey at Riverlea.
For many families, it was the first chance to stand on their land, picture their future home and share the excitement of what's ahead. We look forward to welcoming more residents to the Riverlea community this year as stages continue to progress towards settlement.
This month's update also shares the latest progress across The Palms Shopping Village, the Riverlea District Sportsground and Riverlea Boulevard, along with works continuing across stages currently under construction.
Spring Has Sprung at Riverlea
Spring has arrived, and with longer days and warmer weather ahead, Riverlea's landscaping will increasingly come to life across the community.
Works are progressing well along Riverlea Boulevard, with kerbing and topsoiling continuing in preparation for the next stage of landscaping. Planting is not far away and will bring another layer of greenery and colour to this important entry into the community.
Sportsground Lighting Works Progress
Exciting progress continues at the Riverlea District Sportsground, with piling works now complete for the future sports lighting.
A 70-tonne piling rig was brought to site to construct the foundations that will support four 22-metre soccer lighting towers and four 30-metre AFL lighting towers.
With this milestone reached, works will continue across the precinct as Riverlea's future sporting facilities begin to take shape.
The Palms Shopping Village Continues to Grow
The next stage of The Palms is moving closer, with key milestones reached throughout August.
Paisley Park Childcare Centre and Riverlea Medical Hub have now been handed over to their tenants, allowing custom fit-outs to begin ahead of opening.
The pocket park is also coming together, with turf now laid and landscaping progressing. Once established, it will add a new green space for the community to relax, gather and enjoy.

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).
