Blackbutt residents have been waiting for their new supermarket for some time but finally there looks to be light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Back in 2015, they were told a supermarket could be open on the site of the Memorial Hall by as early as mid-2016.<\/p>\n

In December 2015, residents were told the project was “on schedule” for a June or July 2016 opening.<\/p>\n

Then, residents were assured it would be up and trading by December 1, 2017.<\/p>\n

Now, with work on the building finished and the interior fit-out under way, the opening is expected to occur during the week before Anzac Day.<\/p>\n

Delays in the development have been blamed on unexpected difficulties surrounding the shifting of the Memorial Hall to its new site near the Showgrounds, tyre blowouts, the weather, and a major contractor pulling out due to family issues.<\/p>\n

The supermarket will open under the IGA marketing brand.<\/p>\n
