Works include:

- three 120-seat meeting rooms
- exhibition space for up to 30 display booths
- and the iconic Sky Terrace boasting a 500-seat rooftop banquet space with views over Trinity Inlet.
The focus of the construction program for the next six months:
- The 24-metre tower crane will continue to lift steel, concrete, and equipment to progress the extension of the forecourt, main entry lobby and internal areas.
- Concrete formwork installation for columns, lift shafts and mezzanine slab deck
- Largest concrete pour of the project which will see approximately 300m3 of concrete poured
