October 2010 saw the start of phase 2, which involves the construction of the new centre, whilst trading continues at the remaining portion of the mall. A new mall extension to Checkers Hyper has been opened to the public since 1 November, which also included two new public block toilets for females, males and disabled shoppers. This walkway links Checkers Hyper to Woolworths in an effort to ensure the centre remains convenient and comfortable for all shoppers.

The project, which is set to be complete in 2012, has a professional team of 14 companies working an estimated two million manhours to complete the development.

"It's business as usual at the mall, with almost all of the building work divorced from the trading portion of the mall," says Wendy Radford, centre manager of Blue Route Mall from Broll Property Management.
