The basement foundations and floors have now been completed in the original 103-year-old heritage gallery, with just the old stairwell area in the north being worked on inside the building.
This, along with strengthening works on the roof completed in the west, means we've been able to remove the temporary propping in the gallery and basement areas below and can now begin installing new air conditioning and services.
Last week newly elected members of the council and community board enjoyed a site visit as part of their induction. It was great to have them there to see the progress and share our latest milestones.
