A Year In Review: Reflecting on Our Achievements and Milestones between 2023-2024

As the 2024 – 2025 event season springs upon us, we are taking a quick moment to reflect on the milestones and accomplishments that have shaped the past year at Tri-Point. It has been a year filled with growth, challenges, and successes, and none of it would have been possible without the dedication of our team and the trust of our clients. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights that made September 2023 – August 2024 unforgettable!

A Quarter-Century Milestone: Celebrating 25 Years of Tri-Point

September 2023 marked a major milestone for Tri-Point as we celebrate 25 years of delivering top-tier rigging solutions to the Australian film and entertainment industries! Over the past quarter-century, we’ve grown from humble beginnings to become a trusted name in the industry, known for our commitment to safety, innovation, and quality service. We’re incredibly proud of the journey that has brought us here, and we’re grateful to our clients, partners, and dedicated team members who have been with us every step of the way. As we reflect on 25 years of success, we look forward to continuing to set new standards and achieve even greater heights in the years to come!

Expanding Our Fleet and Capabilities

Diverse & Exciting Projects

One of the highlights of the past year was completing the Atmospheric Memory installation at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, a logistically challenging project that required specialised rigging solutions and a custom truss ground support with a complex double layered truss grid for lighting, sound and projection screen positions. The projection cloths required meticulous fitting in order to achieve the high-quality finish required for the projection mapping.

Atmospheric Memory was a Rafael Lozano-Hemmer exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo during 2023. The exhibition allowed visitors to interact with artworks in an immersive environment filled with light, sound and colossal projections.

Over the past year, Tri-Point have also provided staging, rigging, and temporary structures to a range of festivals and arts & culture events including highlights such as Atmosphonia at the Powerhouse Museum, Boileroom, Throttle Roll, Warehouse Project, Paw Patrol Live!, Creatures of Australia, Australian Fashion Week, the Sydney New Year’s Eve Broadcast, Relay for Life Sutherland Shire, Vivid Sydney, and Opera on Sydney Harbour, to name a few.

We have provided production riggers and steel climbers for a tonne of different shows, including highlights Taylor Swift, KISS, Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe, Fridays Live, Paramore, Post Malone, Foo Fighters, P!NK, The Chemical Brothers, Jay Chau, Fred Again, Ocean Alley, LIVE & Incubus, Nick Cave, Jim Jefferies, Knockout Outdoor, Midnight Mafia, Showtek, Disney on Ice, Ridin Hearts Festival, Yours & Owls, Good Things Festival, EPIK, HTID, Carols in the Domain, Souled Out, Sydney Festival, the Sydney Opera House Forecourt Series, and Australian Fashion Week. The list goes on!

Sporting events have included the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and the World Series of Darts, as well as various Spidercam installations at stadiums throughout the year. Tri-Point also worked on the bump in and bump out of a variety of theatre productions including Elvis, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Death of a Salesman, The Odd Couple, and Woman in Black.  

This year’s film & television projects have been bountiful once again, and included highlights such as ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ (TV Series), Thank God You’re Here (TV), Play Dirty (Film), Mortal Kombat 2 (Film), The Rising (Film), the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (Film) Sydney Premiere, Top Gear Australia (TV) finale, NCIS (TV), The Deb (Film), The Last Anniversary (TV), The Voice (TV), Last King of the Cross (TV), Ten Pound Poms (TV), Dessert Masters (TV), Love Island (TV Promo), as well as numerous other films, television shows and TVC’s.

Safety First: Maintaining Excellence in Safety Standards

Supporting the Community

This year, we were privileged to give back to the community through a variety of partnerships with local charities and organizations. Our team proudly support Crew Care and Support Act, and our riggers were seen all over Sydney and beyond donning the limited edition tee’s for Ausmusic T-Shirt Day. We once again supported the Sutherland Shire’s Relay for Life event, raising essential funds for The Cancer Council. And one of our company Directors, Graeme Dew, was also spotted recently up in Arnhem Land volunteering at the Garma Festival; a 4 day celebration of Yolngu life and culture. The festival showcases art, song, dance and story telling, and is an important meeting point for the clans and families of the region. Nice work guys!
