One step closer
The final section of the Southern Star Observation Wheel rim has been installed, bringing the project one step closer to completion.
Southern Star spokesperson, Ken Davis, said the timing of work for the next phase of the project would be heavily influenced by Melbourne’s weather.
The next phase of construction involves welding of the drive rail around the outer rim, removal of the temporary yellow steel trusses and site rectification works.
After this work has been completed the first cabins will be installed. Mr Davis said Southern Star Management Group was unable to confirm when this would be.
He said an opening timeline would be announced when installation of the cabins had commenced.
