PHOTOS: RUBY HEYWARDThe concrete is being poured at Observatory Village’s $32 million ‘‘stage two’’ development. After delays caused by rain, Covid-19-related supply shortages and restrictions, and extensive earthworks, the Oamaru retirement village was finally embarking on its expansion project, Observatory Village Charitable Trust chairman Peter Robinson said. Work on Observatory Village’s new development in Oamaru is under way. Mr Robinson, who has replaced Ian Hurst as chairman, said when the village trust was first established, this level of demand was not anticipated.
