Stowe Australia was engaged by Lipman to deliver the design and construct electrical and communications package for the redevelopment of the Port Macquarie Observatory.
Located in Rotary Park overlooking Town Beach, the project involved the demolition of the existing 55-year-old structure and the construction of a modern new facility.
The upgraded Observatory features a purpose-built auditorium, science exhibition area with interactive and static displays, workshops, meeting rooms, and a 6.9-metre dome housing a 16-inch telescope, designed to support astronomy education and community engagement.
Stowe’s scope of work included:
- ASP3 design and ASP1 construction for the new site power supply
- Temporary electrical services
- Underground reticulation, consumer mains, and submain cabling
- Site main switchboard and distribution boards
- General power cabling, fittings, and fixtures
- Internal and external lighting
- Lighting control system
- Structured communications system
