GEELONGPORT and Spirit of Tasmania have unveiled the design images of Spirit of Tasmania’s new terminal building to be built at Corio Quay in Geelong.
The building will be part of Spirit of Tasmania’s passenger and freight terminal precinct.
Construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion slated for 2022.
GeelongPort chief executive officer Brett Winter said he was pleased to have completed the design phase of the project.
“A lot of thought has gone into the design of the terminal building with inspiration for the building’s design being drawn from the beautiful landscapes that Tasmania is famous for,” he said.
“The final design is both striking and functional and it will provide the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Victoria and Tasmania every year, a contemporary, comfortable and streamlined experience as part of their voyage.”
Spirit of Tasmania chief executive officer Bernard Dwyer said, “We are very pleased with the new terminal design and how the architectural features reflect the company’s long Tasmanian heritage”.
“This building will be a place our staff will be proud to work and our passengers will love to come as they embark on their journey to and from Tasmania.”
“Our employees will benefit greatly from the new office facilities, crew accommodation and staff amenities that have been purpose built to meet our requirements for now and in the future,” Mr Dwyer said.
