  • Grand Slam Tennis Back at Melbourne Park
    Monday, 8 February 2021 GRAND SLAM TENNIS BACK AT MELBOURNE PARK The Australian Open kicks off in Melbourne today, with strict public health directions in place across the Melbourne Park precinct to protect the efforts of Victorians to combat coronavirus. Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula praised the ongoing work of Victorians to contain coronavirus, which has made it possible for the Grand Slam tournament to proceed. Melbourne Park is divided into three zones around Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and John Cain Arena as part of rigorous infection prevention and control measures in place to ensure the safety of players, officials, and the broader Victorian community. Dedicated entry points will apply for each zone and no movement will be permitted between the zones. There will be a daily crowd capacity of 30,000 for the first eight days, with 25,000 per day from the quarter-finals and 12,500 in Rod Laver Arena for the final three days of the tournament. Over the two weeks of the event, this will equate to about half of the average attendance in the past three years. The Australian Open is a key pillar of Victoria’s major event program – last year it contributed an estimated $387 million to the state’s visitor economy. The Victorian Government has invested almost $1 billion over the past 10 years in upgrading and expanding Melbourne Park so that it can continue to host the Open until at least 2039. When completed in time for the 2023 Australian Open, the final stage in the Melbourne Park redevelopment will have created 2,300 full-time jobs through the Andrews Labor Government’s Local Jobs First Policy.

  • 2014-15 State Budget Overview
    Ideas to Outcomes COMMITTEE FOR MELBOURNE BRIEFING NOTE 2014-15 State Budget Overview Overview In his final budget address before the November 29th State election, Treasurer Michael O’Brien delivered an optimistic and healthy outlook for the Victorian economy, drawing reference to the fact that Victoria stands alone as the only jurisdiction in Australia to be operating a surplus over the next four years. As expected, central to the 2014-15 Budget was a $27 billion construction and infrastructure program, which intends to deliver jobs and maintain the liveability of the state. It is worth noting however that whilst the proposed investments in infrastructure are sizeable, spending allocations for the 2014-15 financial year remain limited with a large proportion of this spending either earmarked for later years or remaining unaccounted for.

  • Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne
    Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne Margaret Court Arena is the third largest venue for Australian open. The Margaret Court Arena is the third and latest addition to the Melbourne Park. It is the third largest venue for the Australian Open, after the Rod Laver Arena and the Hisense Arena. It is famous for its retractable roof that opens and closes in 5 minutes- the fastest retractable roof in the world. Just before the 2003 Australian Open, the Margaret Court Arena was renamed after the famous Australian woman player, Margaret Court. Prior to this it was called ‘Show Court One’. Please take a look at the seating plan before booking your seats for the Australian Open. A 700 million dollar project was undertaken in 2010- the Melbourne Park masterplan- and the renovation of the MCA was carried out under this project. The court was then transformed into a multi purpose venue for sporting and entertainment events alike. Seating capacity too increased from 6000 to 7500. Entertainment at Margaret Court Arena : Margaret Court Arena with its intimate seat setting and variable seating capacity that can range from 5000 to 8000, has become hot favorite among musicians and music enthusiasts alike, as a venue for live music. Australian hip hop pioneers Hilltop Hoods, performed at the MCA as a part of their Cosby Sweater Tour. Sports at Margaret Court Arena: Tennis: Margaret Court Arena is known to offer one of the best tennis viewing experiences to spectators. When the Margaret Court Arena opens its grounds to Australian Open this year, the Melbourne Park will become the only Grand Slam Tennis venue to have three stadiums with retractable roofs.

The analysis was conducted from both a user's and owner's perspective and the recommendations take both their goals for the system into account. Human factors was the key analysis technique used as the barriers for the system came from a survey conducted on MBS users and non-users in Melbourne and Brisbane. Several recommendations were made based on information from this survey, the main one being an increase in the density of the stations. Energy Factors were not analyzed in this paper as they wouldn't offer any useful recommendations with regards to the barriers given the current system design. u5349410 Table of Contents 1.

By keeping Photo: Nathan Duff Photo: his eye on the ball and recognising opportunities for innovation. By Christopher Connolly. ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA | MARCH 2017 39 COVER STORY hen Aurecon recently won the job of redesigning the retractable roof on the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, it could W point to a lot of experience in this field both in Australia and overseas. But back in the 1990s when Connell Wagner (one of Aurecon’s forerunners) pitched for the job on the roof at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, the team there had no experience. Luckily, it had a mechanical engineer in Queensland who had done a lot of work on large stockyard machines weighing 1000 t, which arguably have greater design challenges than those facing the roof at Docklands. “We put the case that it was actually less complex than these big, moving, materials handling machines that we had done a lot of,” says that engineer, John Leech. When Connell Wagner won that contract, Leech had to become an expert in retractable roofs quickly, exploring state-of-the-art solutions overseas. But he says the solution proposed was different to anything else being done at that time.
