Key results
The Lodge
The refurbishment of the reception rooms at The Lodge commenced
during 2002-03. The rooms had last been redecorated in 1986
and the finishes had deteriorated significantly. The work undertaken
during 2002-03 did not involve any major structural changes;
the project was limited to the removal of the wallpaper, repainting
of the walls and ceilings, restoration of the timber surfaces and
replacement of the curtains and carpets.
Minor maintenance work on the building’s exterior (including
the perimeter wall) and gardens was also undertaken.
Kirribilli House
Minor maintenance works were undertaken in relation to Kirribilli
House and its gardens. No major structural work was undertaken
at the residence. |
