In 2003 Six Degrees were approached by Federation Square to explore the possibility of reactivating the neglected vaults area of the riverside situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. The main challenges were the Heritage significance of the façade and vault structures, and providing adequate services delivery. The result is a vibrant riverside destination, maximizing use of a previously neglected area and providing a combination of public uses including hospitality, bike hire and boat tours with full disability access.
