Devonport light & sound experience
From Sky to Sea
Creating a landmark visitor experience in Devonport
The challenge: crafting a compelling visitor experience
The Devonport City Council envisioned a permanent light and sound installation that would serve as a major drawcard for the city. Aimed at increasing tourist visitation and encouraging overnight stays, particularly for passengers travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania, the project needed cutting-edge AV technology to create an engaging and durable experience. The Council sought a trusted Tasmanian supplier who could align with their vision, provide high-quality, reliable solutions, and deliver within budgetary and timeline constraints.
The solution: strategic collaboration and thoughtful innovation
We were awarded the contract to supply and commission LED, lighting, and audio equipment for "From Sky to Sea." Our approach went beyond fulfilling equipment specifications:
Collaborative partnership: Throughout the tender and execution phases, we worked closely with the creative team at Mandylights, manufacturers Degree C, and the Council to ensure every decision was aligned with the overarching project vision. Open communication and consideration of all parties' needs were key to our success.
Informed innovation: Where others might have followed the original specifications, we took a more critical approach, questioning details and proposing alternative solutions to ensure the best possible visitor experience.
Focus on durability and longevity: Recognising the challenges of a permanent seaside installation, we meticulously researched and sourced robust, high-quality equipment from leading global brands. This ensured both aesthetic excellence and long-term functionality.
Delivering exceptional results
The collaboration between Round Table, Mandylights, and Degree C culminated in a transformative public experience that has quickly become a defining feature of Devonport’s waterfront redevelopment.
Key outcomes:
Economic boost: The installation supports Devonport’s broader economic goals by attracting increased tourist visitation and longer stays.
Client satisfaction: The Council praised our flexibility, technical expertise, and commitment to delivering their vision, stating that our product knowledge and support throughout the commissioning phase were “invaluable.”
Long-Term value: By prioritising high-quality, durable equipment, we ensured that "From Sky to Sea" would continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
