New World Kaiapoi

About the Project

Leighs Construction was more than halfway through a $6m upgrade of the New World Kaiapoi supermarket when the premises were destroyed by the 4th September, 2010 earthquake.

A successful tender saw Leighs Construction subsequently appointed to carry out the contract for a new $12m replacement supermarket.
