Sometimes it's the smaller upgrades that have the biggest impact. That was the case at Cranbourne Park, Vic, as the team recently revealed new amenities, designed to curate an elevated customer experience to meet the needs of its rapidly growing trade area. With a design befitting of an upmarket hotel, the team utilised terrazzo and marbled styling complemented by modular mirrors with illuminated icons and fully integrated soap and hand dryer systems. The work is part of a broader schedule of upgrades across a number of centres designed to enhance customer experience and deliver property excellence.

Colour, food, dancing. It can only be Diwali 🎆 This week, our teams have celebrated Diwali – The Festival of Lights. Driven by our Cultural Diversity Employee Advocacy Group, celebrations encouraged teams to come to work in colourful dress and partake in the sharing of recipes and stories. Arguably the highlight of the week at our national office (and virtually for teams at our centre nationwide) was a Bollywood dance lesson, and a morning tea with mouth-watering Indian snacks. A fantastic week of celebrations underlines our commitment to diversity and understanding the story and culture of all of our teams and communities. Happy Diwali!
