Looks like the crane base was removed?

Maybe it was a test fit?

Please tell me the dark brown brick around the Festival Centre is being recladded? Gosh, it really makes the building so dated.

I hope so too. (Mission) Brown everywhere is such a 1970s curse.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but more brown brick has gone up on the northern facade. It ain’t going.

I’m far far far happier that the redevelopment (both externally and internally) is faithful to the original building.

And it’s brown brick. Mission Brown was a paint finish.

It's so ugly.

I agree with you, it's nice to see them sticking to the old design principle. Besides, the renders for this actually make the brown brick look quite sleek, a Scandinavian feel.

The northern entrance of the station will be open in time for the Ashes on 2 December.

From today. The bridge is almost done.

Just FYI there's a good overview of Festival Plaza from the top floor of the Casino. But you need a valid reason to get up there in the lift.

...And a completely unrelated fact the Fortuna Buffet Restaurant is up there.

Norman, is this the area you say (Northern entrance to the station) that will be open for the ashes in a few days?

Looks like they decided to move the location of the crane too.
