The works to the Opera House consisted of the upgrade of three interconnected areas within its eastern side.
These areas are the Creative Learning Centre – a dedicated space for young people to play in an environment that reflects creative spirit, the Entry Foyer/Eastern Tunnel and Lift, and the Concert Hall – including accessibility and acoustic works, theatre machinery and systems upgrades.
A major birdcage scaffolding was installed within the hall to complete all high-level works, and an innovative truss support system below the new stage area allowed all mechanical and structural stage works to proceed without affecting the Drama Theatre below.
Construction was closely coordinated and completed without compromising any of the design intent originally proposed and completed.
Taylor worked closely with designers and Opera House Management, ensuring a smooth construction flow and an excellent result maintaining the beauty and relevance of this iconic building.
