Fresh Produce Market and Eatery Construction Commenced

This month we were pleased to announce that works commenced on the construction of our new eatery and restoration of the historic fort.

As part of our new Fort Largs development, the historic fort will transform into a mixed-use amenity for the community to enjoy by the end of the year. The new fresh produce market and eatery will highlight the unique character of the historic site, which will be developed in partnership with South Australian local seafood identity Jarn Jamison.

This development milestone was commemorated by special guests Deputy Premier Susan Close, Deputy Mayor Vanessa Tulloch, South Australian seafood identity Jarn Jamison and Peet SA & ACT State Manager Mark Devine.Everyone in attendance enjoyed a range of local produce and a cooking demonstration by former MasterChef contestant Jessie Spiby.

The fresh produce market and eatery will provide a unique experience by featuring an array of amenities. Local Seafood business owner, Jarn Jamison, believes the market will become a staple in the local community.

“The whole family will be able to enjoy an exceptional shopping, dining and entertainment experience. Marketgoers will have access to fresh produce which will be brought directly from local farms and will provide some of the state’s finest ingredients to the community.”

“In addition to the variety of fresh produce, there will be a host of local creative stalls including clothing designers, musicians and a wider range of craft markers showcasing their finest products. Additionally, the market will also feature independent studio spaces providing a platform for some of Australia’s best emerging creative talent,” said Mr Jamison.

Peet Managing Director and CEO, Brendan Gore, said that the upgrade was part of Peet’s commitment to enhancing the community’s local amenity and hopes the development will attract new residents to the area.

“The mixed-use development highlights the character of the historic site, while ensuring residents enjoy a wide range of living options and a thoughtfully designed community with a range of amenity to suit a variety of lifestyles,” said Mr Gore.

This exciting mixed-use amenity development will provide a hub for residents to all come together and a setting to highlight local South Australian produce.
