Kane Constructions was awarded the Design and Construct contract to deliver Sound Stage 6 at Docklands Studios Melbourne, a major addition that strengthens the facility’s capacity to attract large-scale international film and television productions.

Designed as Melbourne’s new flagship stage, Stage 6 combines significant floor space and height, providing capabilities comparable to only a small number of sound stages worldwide.

The 3,700m² facility expands the overall production capacity of Docklands Studios, increasing the total stage area to approximately 10,000m² across six stages, a 60 per cent increase on the existing footprint.

Construction was carefully planned and delivered while the five existing sound stages remained fully operational throughout the project.

The project reached Practical Completion in early 2022.
