Westfield Carousel Shopping Centre THE BUILDERS CHOICE Westfield Carousel is a place of discovery, which is set to continue as more retailers progressively open, connecting our customers with high-quality and memorable retail experiences as well as offering a vibrant dining, leisure and entertainment precinct to be enjoyed with friends and family Revamp for WA s biggest shopping centre The recent redevelopment of the largest shopping centre in Western Australia was a massive undertaking demanding project management of the highest order, meticulously planned logistics and a highly organised approach from all involved. S uch an approach was required not only because of the size of the project but also because the Westfield Carousel shopping centre in Cannington was active throughout the whole of the redevelopment. This meant that new and old sections of the centre needed to coexist and public safety had to be the highest priority. Ambient upgrades were also undertaken at night to the shopping centre to ensure areas were safe for centre operations during the day. And, despite the size and complexity of the project, not one day of trade was lost during the whole of the centre s revamp. Location and weather challenges The development was surrounded by an active trading centre and the Albany Highway, one of Perth s busiest arteries. Bounded by Liege Street, Albany Highway and the existing shopping centre, the site had four construction access points. The weather created another challenge as there was a high level of rainfall during the bulk of the excavation and structure work. This necessitated good planning and organisation by the site team to ensure the site was made watertight for finishing trades. December 2018 The Builders Choice Magazine 29
