During lockdown 2021, work on the new shopping centre known as the Schofields Village, was paused for around three months. The complex was officially opened on 1 December 2021, though not all shops were completed at that stage.
To facilitate traffic flow in the area, three sets of traffic lights were installed in that section of Railway Terrace. One set at Jerralong Drive; another at Manchester Drive replacing the roundabout at the entrance to Woolworths/Railway Station; plus a set at Jacqui Avenue, the main access to the new Schofields Village shopping centre.
