Steven Lacey, CEO of Lederer Group which is is undertaking the work, said that upgrade work will take place in three stages and it is likely to be completed by the end of 2021.
"The idea behind the expansion is to provide shoppers at Woolworths a one-stop location. There was a big demand for additional retail in the area so we have added services that were not present earlier," he said.
"We have also tried to ensure that it's convenient for shoppers. So, in the first stage, we expanded the car park which is close to the shops."
