SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY All JVG Sound personnel are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. For some of the secure sites we have worked on, it has been necessary for our staff to under- go police checks and apply for and hold an ASIC card. This is normally a 4-6 week process. JVG has worked on numerous secure sites for both refurbishments and new builds eg. airports, schools, casinos, correctional centres and police stations. For a full list of our completed projects, please see previous page. I’ve been working with JVG Sound Lighting & “Visual for many years now. I wouldn’t trust anyone else when it comes to installing quality pro audio and intelligent lighting for our nightclub area. The JVG team knew just what to do with our venue space to create the perfect atmosphere.” Anthony Brooks General Manager Gilligan’s Backpackers Hotel and Resort Cairns, Queensland “JVG has been exceptional, the product knowledge and venue advice, teamed with their professional installation has helped transform us into one of Queensland’s if not Australia’s best known outdoor venues. We will work with JVG to carry on improving with A++ grade materials and staff. Many thanks to the whole team and their amazing ongoing service.” Tim Cooney, Base Magnetic Island Troy Cannon Komune Resort Gold Coast, Queensland We had the team at JVG Sound do a complete upgrade of our “venue sound system. Our experience with Jade and his team was nothing short of brilliant and we now have a vastly improved sound system. The attitude of Jade and all his crew was fantastic and they were always just a phone call away if any problem arose. I’d have no hesitation to recommend JVG to anyone contemplating a new commercial AV system. Also their hire team are second to none.” HOTELS AIRPORTS AMUSEMENT PARKS CLUBS & BARS STADIUMS EDUCATION FACILITIES HIGHRISE HOUSES OF WORSHIP PRODUCTION HOUSES CAFES & GOVERNMENT CASINOS RESTAURANTS FACILITIES Gold Coast Showroom 07 5599 1222 | Cairns Office 07 4041 3929 [email protected] Sign up to our E-Newsletter Current as of March 2018.

  • Media Statement
    Media statement 10 years since the birth of Echo 3 June 2021 This year marks the 10-year anniversary since Echo Entertainment Group Limited was officially listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 6 June 2011, following its demerger from Tabcorp Holdings Limited. As part of the demerger, Echo took on Tabcorp’s casino properties across Queensland and New South Wales. On 4 November 2015, shareholders approved a decision to change the parent company name to ‘The Star Entertainment Group Limited’, allowing a seamless transition to ‘The Star’ identity being adopted consistently across its three properties. Two of the company’s longstanding Queensland-based executives, Geoff Hogg and Paula Martin, share some memories as they look back on the company’s relatively short yet transformational journey so far. Geoff Hogg, Chief Casino Officer QLD, The Star Entertainment Group Bio Geoff Hogg is the Chief Casino Officer QLD for The Star Entertainment Group. He joined Tabcorp Holdings in 2008 and today his portfolio includes overseeing Treasury Brisbane, The Star Gold Coast and its expansion, the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort situated in Main Beach, and the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane integrated resort development currently being built in Brisbane’s CBD. On behalf of the Queensland Government, The Star Entertainment Group also manages the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Geoff is also a member of the Responsible Gambling Advisory Committee, a director on the National Retail Association, and a member of Major Events Gold Coast. Q&A How would you describe the evolution of the company from those early years? • In addition to our Sydney property’s transformation and the opening of its new assets, those early years of Echo focused heavily on planning for opportunities in Queensland.

The purpose of the profile is two-fold: to question the accuracy of some widely held beliefs about the Gold Coast which view it solely as a resort town and to attempt to determine whether the nature of urbanization on the Gold Coast is different. In order to illustrate in what ways the Gold Coast is similar to and different from other major cities in Australia, the profile examines its historical evolution, urban development, structure of development and urban form, population growth and demographic structure, and economic indicators. In doing this it compares the Gold Coast with the state and national averages, Australian capital cities, and the city of the Sunshine Coast which is the second major tourist settlement in the state of Queensland.
