Final Phase Of Construction Underway For PW1
01-Apr-2011 | Construction work has recommenced on Princes Wharf Shed 1.
Construction for the renewal of Princes Wharf Shed 1 was temporarily halted to allow Hobart’s important summer events to be held. These events were very successful and the partially completed Shed seemed to play some part in that success if the enthusiasm of patrons is any indication.Stage 2 construction will be undertaken from 1 March to 30 June 2011. During this period the Shed and Forecourt will not be available for hire.
From 1 July 2011 onwards, the building will include a 9 metre deep deck the length of the Shed with retractable weather protection; glazed doors opening on to the deck through which glimpses of the water (or the orange colour of the Antarctic research vessels) will be seen from Salamanca; and improved public amenity in the Forecourt including bicycle parking, water fountains and seating. The inside of the Shed will also be further refurbished with additional facilities and technological infrastructure.
The catenary lighting in the Forecourt, an artwork titled Allure by Aden Narkowicz and Elizabeth Barnett, will be launched in early July 2011.
If you would like further information or would like to make a booking for the renewed Shed 1 please contact Tania Parkes on 0419 491 166 or email taniaparkes@taniaparkes.com.au.
