Members are in agreement that the works completed so far in the first and second phases are truly spectacular for all to see and are admired by locals and visitors. The achievements to date on this major project are commendable, both in the cost savings made throughout the contract management and also in the extremely high level of workmanship on the property. Members are looking forward to the project completion."
