The FKG Group has today been awarded the $53.3 million contract to construct the new Cairns Performing Arts Centre, with works due to commence in March, 2016.

“The FKG Group is proud to have been awarded the Cairns Performing Arts Centre project, which will be a wonderful addition to the local community. Having recently completed the refurbishment of the Tjapukai Cultural Centre, and currently constructing the Cairns Aquarium and Research Facility, the FKG Group is looking forward to completing another milestone project for the region. ”
Having completed multiple projects in the local Cairns community over the last 15 years, the FKG Group is committed to local engagement, placing a high focus on content from local business and suppliers. To complete the Cairns Performing Arts Centre project, the FKG Group has assembled a specialised team, and will leverage off the Group’s previous experience in theatre and auditorium projects.
