Week 11

Work has continued this week in several areas, but with the majority of the activity being focusing on the electrical/groundwork side of things, not a lot has changed visually from last week.

Work has progressed in the dance studio and the new air conditioning unit is taking shape.

Hutton's required access to a drain located on the skate park to complete works on the spa extension, so Playworld Systems were called in to remove a section of the ramp.
