Times have changed significantly since Simon Freemantle first joined PRDnationwide Wagga Wagga.

That was way back in 1989 when Simon was at the university of Western Sydney and was keen to make a career as a real estate agent.

It’s 33 years later and a different era but what has not changed is Simon’s passion to succeed with the PRDnationwide team.

The northern end of Fitzmaurice Street has recently been revitalized by the Cadell Place development. Several businesses have opened in the precinct, including Meccanico Espresso + Wine, and locals have been re-engaging with the rejuvenated community space that saw ‘an old shed’ become Wagga’s newest marketplace.

Committee for Wagga caught up with members Cadell Place developer, Danny Russell, and Meccanico founder, Richard Moffatt to discuss how the new businesses are adapting to the recent COVID-19 trading regulations.
