Dismiss Normal text size Advertisement Construction of the City of Fremantle’s new civic centre as part of its $270 million King’s Square redevelopment may not be finished until the end of the year as the local government seeks a new head contractor following the collapse of Pindan last month. The $41.3 million council building – which will be home to the city’s library, administration, and a cafe – will now be finished in November, with an aim to restart major works in August.
