Adelaide Casino Construction is Underway

Last year, a colossal $330 million casino expansion project in Australia was announced by SkyCity Entertainment. Dubbed the SkyCity Adelaide Casino, it will entail the thorough revamp and redevelopment of the existing venue with the addition of a new hotel, several restaurants, cafes and bars. This will create 1000 new construction jobs in the area and 800 more ongoing positions. The entire undertaking ought to be wrapped up by the year 2020.

It appears that this venture is ready to be on its way, as this week will see the arrival of the first two cranes and approximately 80,000+ lifts of building material. The project is led by Hansen Yuncken. Steven Marshall, South Australian Premier, is excited about the prospect the expansion carries: “It’s going to make sure that our economy grows – more interstate, more overseas visitors coming into our state.” Luke Walker, Adelaide Casino general manager added: “It’s got special character and to bring it back to its former glory is pretty important as well, and it will complement our new building.” He added that this will signal the “significant drawcard” for this state as it will provide luxury accommodations, beverage and entertainment options to visitors.

The existing property’s unique character will be enhanced and refreshed while the brand-new building will be erected beside it.

Mark Rosenboom, Hansen Yuncken state manager, comments: “At it’s peak, we’d anticipate in excess of 300 skilled workers are needed every day to deliver this high quality and iconic project and we’ll be partnering predominantly with local industry throughout.”
