"We are delighted that Rob has agreed to join us, and I personally look
forward to working together with him, side by side, as we maximise the full
potential of SKYCITY. There is no doubt Rob's knowledge and expertise will
help deliver solid results for our shareholders, particularly in the focus
areas we are prioritising for long term growth."
Mr Hamilton says he is excited to join the SKYCITY senior executive team in
October.

Zealand International Convention Centre and Adelaide Casino redevelopment,"
says Mr Hamilton

entertainment and tourism sectors. I look forward to contributing to the team
and adding value for SKYCITY shareholders going forward.''
