FEATURE One of the most exciting developments to take shape over the past 12 months has been the Lady Banks Rooftop Bar. Boasting 360-degree panoramic views that capture the impressive Sydney skyline to the Blue Mountains, the venue is the cherry on the top of the Flinders Centre Bankstown. The name Lady Banks was inspired by Lady Dorothea Banks, wife of botanist and Bankstown namesake, Sir Joseph Banks. The venue’s design, led by Pony Design Co, seamlessly balances both summer and winter aspects to create a multi-seasonal sanctuary, with a younger demographic in mind. Lady Banks Rooftop Bar will open under the steerage of Italian-born Francesco Motta, who will be joined by up and coming Head Chef, Sarah Hanslow, whose impressive culinary skill have earned her a well-respected reputation within the hospitality industry. From concept to construction, and through to delivery, Bankstown Sports has made a conscious effort to source local materials and services for the Lady Banks Rooftop Bar, with the majority of appointed suppliers headquartered in New South Wales or Victoria. There has also been a focus on recruiting staff from the local area.
