In early December, demolition of the internal structure of the ground floor of the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Alice Springs office began to make way for renovations to the space.

Nicholl Constructions won the tender and started the renovations in early January, and is expected to finish by late February. Neata Glass are supplying the glass and aluminium frames and TDC are replacing the air conditioning system and ducting.

There are many other trades involved too: electrical, plumbing, window suppliers (the new windows will be more energy efficient than the old ones), painters, plasterers, furniture removalists, and more. All the companies employed to complete this work are from Alice Springs.

“The renovations will result in more efficient staff locations and space usage with more open space,” said Geoff Hood, Director Council Services. “There will be a new training room and a new interviewing room that will be sound proof,” he added.
