What changes could be made to  Investment in theatre resources (current equipment and new) such as lighting, rigging, audio, increase utilisation? staging system including skirting, haze machines, tarkett, truss lighting, truss, mobile lighting desk (laptop, program etc) projectors and other visual arts equipment.  Basic audio and lighting package for Bay 17 (theatre).  Re surface floor in Bay 17. Currently sprung flooring is uneven and surface is splitting.  Investment in the current theatre seating banks (ability to manoeuvre/retract & remove easily etc). At the moment this is very labour intensive and therefore costly to clients.  Installation of appropriate exhaust and air‐conditioning systems into the Tracks to enable ticketed performances (meet licence requirements).  Installation of appropriate exhaust system in Bay19 to enable ticketed performances (meet licence requirements).  Better quality audio and acoustic setup in foyer spaces. Foyer audio to be theatre specific to enable better announcements.  Ability to provide adequate exhibition lighting in both foyer and exhibition space (Bay19).  Soundproof Bay20 (theatre).  Additional lockable storage facilities (cages) in back of house areas.  Production office to be built above existing laundry in the back of house area.  A water‐tight building.  Increased parking facilities and improvements to current car‐park and car entry via 229 Wilson St (re‐surfacing, lighting and signage).
