Of course, that also depends on favourable weather conditions to allow construction to continue.

The single level supermarket will have a gross floor area of 3860 square metres and include a mini-major retail tenancy.

Woolworths regional development manager Tony Pratt said the company was very excited about the opportunity to deliver an exciting new Woolworths supermarket to Bomaderry.

"While Woolworths Bomaderry will anchor the centre, to meet the fresh food and grocery needs of local residents, the complex will be supported by a BWS and a small number of specialty stores."

For customers looking to shop online and pick up their orders, Woolworths Bomaderry will also include a new pick up service with dedicated parking bays for store-to-boot convenience.

Mr Pratt said the new development will host a number of sustainability features including solar panels and rainwater detention tanks.

"We are seeking a 4-Star Green Star rating by the Green Building Council of Australia," he said.

"Woolworths Bomaderry marks the next evolution in our journey to create a modern and contemporary neighbourhood supermarket and we look forward to welcoming customers into our store from August."

But it hasn't all been clear sailing for the at times controversial complex.

At first there was considerable opposition from some other already struggling Bomaderry retailers, who claimed the retail giant moving into the area would put further pressure on their businesses.

And then there was major contamination issue discovered at the site, with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) ordering a halt to construction in late 2018.

The EPA declared the site "significantly contaminated" after chlorinated hydrocarbons including trichloroethylene (TCE - a non-flammable, colourless liquid mainly used to remove grease from metal parts, that has the potential to cause adverse health risks) were found in the soil and groundwater.

Woolworths, through its own in-house corporate property division Fabcot, was ordered to conduct more definitive testing and remediation before work could continue.

The original plan lodged with Shoalhaven City Council in December 2014, included the construction of two new access and exit points off Cambewarra Road to the car parking area and loading dock, as well as modifications to current access off the highway, including the construction of an associated slip lane.

The development will provide 279 car parking spaces, including eight disabled, four motorcycle parks and 14 bicycle rails as well as two taxi ranks and bus stop.
