Team Headquarters Set for Relocation to Macquarie Park

C onstruction of our new 2014.

centre at Macquarie Park is progressing well and expected to commence trading in May

In conjunction with the storage centre, work is also underway completing our new Team Headquarters (THQ) and for the first time an exciting new purpose built café has been incorporated into the design, and will be leased to an independent operator. The new THQ will occupy the upper level above the Box Shop and Café, spanning the full width of the building, featuring fully glazed windows facing Khartoum Road, to take advantage of the natural light. Access will be via a contemporary featured staircase front and centre between the Box Shop and the café. Above the stairs we have positioned our greatest prominent feature from THQ, the eye-catching wooden plane propeller. As you make your way up the stairs you will be greeted by Joanne at reception. To the right will be the modern kitchen and break out area, furnished in a way to create an inviting and comfortable relaxed environment.

THQ taking shape

is the engine room, our contemporary open work stations for the Team. To the right of reception will be a new Training/Board Room, quiet Breakout Rooms, Library and additional space for future growth. The modern designs continue out into the garden and landscaping, to create an appealing and relaxed space, featuring some unique sculptures and of course our 10 Year Plaques. The new office embraces the warm and homely style of our current office but adds a contemporary modern dimension. The new office

is seen as a chance to renew our work practices and operations in many ways. Darren Marshall General Manager
