Dan Murphy’s Liquor Store - South Morang

Construction of a new store and landscaping works.

The project comprised construction of a new 1,200m² retail shop and 110 space car park in an existing car park and paddock located to the rear of the Commercial Hotel on Plenty Road in South Morang.

Extensive quantities of structured fill were brought in to raise the levels of the existing site with the building structure founded on strip/ pad footings with precast concrete wall panels and a Kingspan roof.

A large plant platform is positioned on the roof with all mechanical and refrigeration plant. A polished concrete infill slab gives the shop a modern feel with exposed aggregate which is a Dan Murphy’s trademark. The back of house areas to the shop includes a lunchroom, kitchen, toilets, cool room, stock room, loading dock and services room.

The front of the shop features a large Alucobond tower and a timber slat ceiling grid above the front end and registers.

Internally Total completed the fit out.

Bringing a large amount of structured fill into the site to raise the levels in the existing car park and paddock which became the base for the new store. The long lead times over the Christmas and New Year’s period were a challenge with specialist trades and materials.
