POWERHOUSE EXCHANGE
This collection of Heritage buildings has been the main area of activation on the site since 2018, and there is now an opportunity to create a truly unique regional hospitality offering on a more permanent basis.
The ongoing calendar of events and activations will ensure support as the development grows, ensuring that further development in the precinct is in keeping with the brand that has been established to create a desirable regional destination.
