The final component of Phase 1 was the
creation of an 8,300m 2 temporary retail mall within
the existing P5 parking level to accommodate the
smaller tenants around the old Hyperama box
which had to be accommodated on a temporary
basis while the redevelopment was in progress.
This ‘Retail Village’ provided a seamless trading link
between the new Hyperama and the remainder of
the existing retail in the old centre.
Three smaller projects; namely an Energy
Centre allowing for 100% stand-by power, a
large underground water reservoir for 2,5 days of
water storage and a Welcome Centre for tourist
38
buses and park-and-ride facilities were designed
and completed at the same time as the Phase 1
development. The refurbishment of the existing
malls (mall tiling, mall ceilings, general lighting and
existing public toilets) commenced towards the
tail end of Phase 1.
Phase 2
Phase 2 consisted of the creation of 58,700m²
of additional retail arranged over two levels
connecting the existing centre and the Phase
1 retail. The existing east/west malls at ground
and lower first floors were extended to create
