Construction Update
October 2025
What’s happening?
Bulk excavation completion across the site.
We are expecting our next construction certificate (CC2), early October, that will enable us to start digging lift pits and footings.
Mid-October we will start laying the foundations of the buildings.
What’s been happening?
-
What happened:
Demolition is now complete, a major milestone achieved.
Site team fully mobilised with work progressing rapidly.
Shoring wall over 60% complete.
Bulk excavation largely completed in the north-west section of the site.
What this means for the community:
Fewer disruptions now that demolition is complete.
Truck movements continue for spoil removal and concrete deliveries.
Rozelle Village is steadily taking shape, with foundations well underway.
-
What happened:
Piling completed – a major milestone.
Piling forms the deep foundation supports that hold up the entire building. Completing this means the site is ready for basements and above-ground construction.
Capping beams finished.
These concrete beams lock the piles together, creating a solid base for basement walls.
Shotcrete applied to basement walls.
Spray-on concrete that strengthens and waterproofs the basement.
Bulk excavation continued throughout the month
Digging out the earth to create spaces for basements and foundations.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the end of May as we opened the doors to our display suite for the first time.
We were thrilled to connect with so many of you at these events and look forward to many more. Here’s a look back at our favourite moments:
Wednesday 21 May: Our Information Evening brought together neighbours, local business owners and community groups for a relaxed preview of the plans. With drinks, canapés and plenty of time for one-on-one chats, it was a valuable opportunity to hear directly from you.
Saturday 24 May: More than 300 locals attended our Community Open Day, enjoying live music from Ash Perrow, delicious food and drinks by Woofys Group, and a first look at what’s ahead for Rozelle Village.
If you missed out on any of these events or want a closer look, we’d love to welcome you in. Book your own display suite tour at https://rozellevillage.com.au/.

Rozelle Village is officially entering its next phase!
To mark this exciting milestone, the project team came together for a special ‘Laying the Foundations’ ceremony , a day to celebrate progress, reflect on the journey so far, and recognise the many people contributing to the project’s success.
The event began with a smoking ceremony, honouring the land and its cultural significance, followed by speeches from representatives of PERIFA (Developer), Mitsubishi Estate Asia Pte. Ltd. (Investor) and Versatile Construction (Builder). It was a wonderful opportunity for the broader project team to connect, share in the excitement, and look ahead to the next stage.
With piling and bulk excavation now complete, concrete works are well underway, forming the strong foundations for what’s to come. The structure will soon begin to rise, marking the start of Rozelle Village’s vertical journey.
It was a fantastic day celebrating progress and teamwork as Rozelle Village continues to take shape.
