THE official opening of the CODA Apartments, a modern, high-quality residential development on Harbour Drive, is a major milestone in the revitalisation of Coffs Harbour’s city centre.
Saturday 14 June saw community members gather in the new CODA Walkway for family-friendly activities that included face painting, balloon twisting, music, giveaways and a live outside broadcast by local radio personality Michael ‘Moffee’ Moffett.
John Rafferty, CEO of the C.ex Group, said, “It’s great that the construction has finished and has brought 95 apartments to the city.
“There will be about 250 people living on site, which is great for the shopkeepers in the city centre.”
Taking two years to build, the 12-storey collaboration between C.ex Group and Paynter Dixon, has seen 1538 people inducted on site and innovative sustainability measures introduced, including crushing and recycling bricks and concrete for reuse as piling platforms and sub-base.
Seven commercial properties will complement the apartments.
C.ex Group Chairman David Doyle, cut the ceremonial ribbon, assisted by Coffs Harbour Mayor Nikki Williams.
Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan and representatives from the project’s construction partner Paynter Dixon, also attended.
“CODA represents a new era for inner-city living in Coffs,” Mr Rafferty said.
“This project reflects our commitment to investing in the future of our region, offering high-quality urban living options right in the heart of the city.”
