Construction has begun on a world-class performing arts centre and multi-use entertainment space in Rooty Hill. It is deemed the biggest cultural development to hit Western Sydney. The centre is set to become an icon for the West, with construction due for completion in late 2019.
The project has been designed by Cox Architecture and is currently under the construction expertise of Hansen Yuncken.
Hansen Yuncken commissioned me to capture some mid-construction images of the work in progress.
