The Blue Star Atlantic team has been working on the Wakerley Sports Park for just under a year. Located in the bayside suburbs of Brisbane, this new sports park consists of multiple netball courts, a sporting clubhouse and a connecting pedestrian and cyclist pathway. All areas of the project are currently in the rough-in stage and will be followed by the final fit off stages. The Blue Star team is working hard towards project completion to handover to the client later this year.

One of the highlights of the trip was a…
For their May social club event, Blue Star’s finance and administrative team once again headed out on a fun, relaxed, laughter filled night at the elegant and funky Madame Wu restaurant. Madame Wu is an Asian Fusion restaurant on the Brisbane River overlooking the Story Bridge. It’s alluring dim lighting, trendy music and beautiful view certainly set the tone for the night – great atmosphere, dining and company!
