Any new theatres being built that need a flying system installed?

Are there any theatres in Australia having a flying system built or refitted at present?

I worked on about a dozen or so of these refits including Saddlers Wells in Islington (electro hydraulic drum winches with touch screen control by Krupp/Statec), The Barbican Concert Hall (London, stage risers and Krupp winches) refit in 2001 in addition to mods in 1998, counterweight purchase (or hemphouse) systems in the Alexandra in Birmingham, the Liverpool Empire and Londons Lyceum among others...

I've also rigged shows in Alhambra (Bradford), Palladium, Lyceum, Aldwych, Her Majesty's, The Old Vic, Victoria Palace, Adelphi, Theatre Royal, The Prince of Wales and the Shaftesbury in London. I'm sure there are others but it's been a long time...

I enjoyed the work and am wondering who hires for this kind of work in Australia when it does happen, any ideas?

Stagecraft in Osbourne Park, WA design and build flying systems for Australasia. Not sure who does it over east, no doubt Show Tech Australia are involved.http://www.showtechaustralia.com.au/about.htm Have a look at ALIA web site http://www.alia.com.au/ and have a look at the forumns.
