The initial brief from Council required refurbishment of an existing outdoor stage, an increase in amphitheatre capacity and the provision of an iconic multi-use building that would facilitate greater use of the park and amphitheatre.

A recurring requirement was adaptability and multi-use. The project required consultation with various council departments and event stakeholders.

The resulting structures featured:

Control Tower - an iconic steel tube tower integrated into a grassed roof terrace/shelter (also used for filtration and gathering of rainwater) under which are located multi-use spaces, event management, amenity and storage areas.
Outdoor Stage - extension and refurbishment of the existing stage facility, including addition of performance change rooms and amenity, storage, adjustable stage size and backstage areas by use of sliding wall panels.
Lighting Platform - small 3 storey structure for mounting cameras and spot lighting and also incorporating audience viewing and shelter.
