• Increased visibility of wayfinding around the Union House Refurbishment
• Increased capacity for external services including lighting and general outlets
• Increased perception of end-user safety in the loading dock
• A timely delivery, with works scheduled around events happening concurrently within the Union House precinct

Scope

• Provision of external works to uplift the immediate surroundings of Union House
