The box office, backstage, and administration areas will be upgraded, with improvements to the surrounding streetscape.
The second stage cost AU$38.5m and was completed in November 2019. Designed by Hassell, it comprised of a new entrance, rehearsal studios, bar and co-working space. This followed on from the first phase to refurbish the Playhouse Theatre, which was undertaken by Studio 101 Architects.
