Port board chair and Moyne Shire councillor Colin Ryan confirmed “there were some delays”.
“Those issues have been overcome and the project is moving along very quickly,” Cr Ryan said.
He said the issues related to some “engineering and structural matters that have now been corrected”.
The building, which will feature a fish and chip shop at the northern end and a restaurant to the south with a combined total of 230 seats including 56 on outside deckings, was due to be finished by November 11.
However Cr Ryan said the project was now expected to be completed in February at the latest.
“I had an onsite inspection (last week) and there were 12 tradesmen on site,” he said.
“The roof is due to be completed (by the end of this week) and then the glazing will commence shortly after that and the plastering about the same time.”
