2019 has already been an exciting year
at your Entertainment Centre with sellout shows, inspiring performances and our artists of the future sharing the stage. Most importantly we have engaged the leading architectural firms CHROFI & NBRS ARCHITECTURE to work with us in designing and refurbishing the Centre for yours and future generations to enjoy. Thank you to everyone who gave valuable feedback on the initial design concepts which led to their appointment. We are now working through the details of their designs to ensure the best possible outcome for audiences and
performers and a specialist project management firm is on board to help ensure it is all on time and on budget.
So busy times ahead as we work towards the planned closure in September 2020 to reopen late 2022. We have some fantastic programs coming up to ensure the last year of this era is one of the best yet – so be part of the experience !
Looking forward to our new era for the Entertainment Centre and stay tuned for opportunities to have more input on designs .
Until next time.
