New 1100 PAX Waterfront Venue Opens June 30
19-Apr-2011 | Construction work has recommenced on the Princes Wharf Shed 1 redevelopment at Sullivan’s Cove on Hobart’s waterfront. The much anticipated 1100 PAX waterfront venue will be open for business events on June 30 this year.
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 was any indication.The final stage of construction commenced on 1 March with the venue open for business on 30 June 2011. During the construction 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 venue 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 Place; 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 or Business Events Tasmania.
