Australia Fair Metro
Southport | 540m2 tenancy defit, reconfiguration and new awning construction
Commencing in late 2023 and completed in 2024, Echo Projects Co was engaged by Retail First for a 540m2 tenancy defit and reconfiguration, a façade upgrade and the construction of a new external awning at Australia Fair Metro shopping centre.
Designed by Burling Brown Architects, this 28-week project included a strategic tenancy split to create adaptable internal retail spaces, new glazed shopfronts, external tiling, in-ground hydraulic works and the addition of a custom structural steel awning. The project spanned 40m of retail frontage in a bustling live environment at Southport on the Gold Coast.
In line with the client expectations, key priorities were maintaining a live working environment, ensuring uninterrupted centre operations, and prioritising public safety. Weekly site meetings provided a platform for clear communication and progress updates, enabling the team to consistently deliver on time while upholding a high standard of quality.
