The construction of a $40 million worth complex by Shop and Save Limited in Nausori Town will start in the first quarter of this year.
Local Government Minister Parveen Bala stated this when asked on what was causing the delay as no work has been at the site since the agreement was signed in mid 2015.
Bala says it has been resolved that the company will start construction work in a few months time.
He says the Nausori Town Council has started to dismantle the old Nausori market and the site will soon be ready to accommodate this multi-million dollar complex.
Shop and Save Limited accepted the offer in 2015 to carry out redevelopment of the old Nausori market site and they will also be subleasing the site for the next 50 years.
The complex will have hotel apartments, a cinema, conference rooms, supermarkets and 350 parking spaces.
