DESIGN
The Phase I project provides the functional
facilities for the Corporate Head Office. These
comprise an auditorium with 330 seats capable
of expansion to 520 seats with the use of
acoustic partitions (9m in height). These are able

the atrium to provide privacy to the expanded
auditorium. The canteen and Wanooka Heritage
buildings provide staff and executive facilities.
