Coombs company – manages and maintains the facility’s fire detection systems, including the Emergency Warning Indicator System and Fire Indicator Panel.

Upgrades have also been undertaken to the Club’s Data Room and Boardroom for better operational efficiency and improved conditions.

A.G. Coombs’ partnership also extends to supporting The Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI); Richmond’s centre for Indigenous youth.
