LEND Lease has started early works activities on the new $300 million Melbourne Wholesale Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Markets.
This is just two months after Bovis Lend Lease was appointed preferred tenderer for the design and construction.
The project involves the relocation of the existing Melbourne Wholesale Market from Footscray Rd in West Melbourne to the new facility at Cooper St Epping, in Melbourne’s North.
CEO McCann said the early works currently taking place are the first stage in creating an exciting new facility that will provide greater operational efficiency, a safer work environment and improved sustainability for Victoria’s fruit, vegetable and flower market community.
Bovis Lend Lease is currently contracted to deliver early works on the project site, prior to the signing of the final contract in the first quarter of 2010 for the design and construction of the new facility.
The new Melbourne Wholesale Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Market is scheduled to open in 2012.
