Melbourne Theatre & Recital Centre Re-Opens
Ashton Raggatt McDougal (ARM) architects completed the design of the Melbourne Recital Centre and the neighbouring Melbourne Theatre Company helping to transform the formerly derelict Southbank area of the city. They have been honoured with the 2009 Victorian Architecture Medal winning highest accolades in three categories for public architecture, interior design as well as urban design.
The buildings were designed in conjunction with Arup Acoustics and this is what one of their engineers had to say about the projects: “The fusion of architectural and acoustic design throughout the development of Elisabeth Murdoch Hall has produced a visually and aurally exciting hall. Based on the proportions of the classic shoe-box shaped European concert hall, the geometry has been enhanced to provide greater acoustic intimacy and improved sightlines for the entire audience.”

Bought an Nissan X-Trail Columbia at Maindealer 27,000 miles. Ran it 5000 and now have to replace Flywheel and Clutch. This car has no tow bar and I am a senior thus drive in a civilised manner. Mechanic reports Brake pads and discs badly worn and scoured despite dealer service on purchase. On purchase there was an oil leak, which they tried to convince me was from the Aircon. Totally disillusioned with Japanese manufacturers and their UK wheeler dealerships.Car Trailers in Melbourne
