Gabara told the Tribune the first focus will be on the transition for existing staff and operations at Signal Point.
“All the staff will be staying, there will be no change to the day-to-day, customers probably won’t notice a difference to their experience, and the staff won’t really notice a different to their experience either,” she said.
