The Skyneedle is a prominent feature of the Brisbane skyline which was constructed especially for World Expo 88. The 88 m landmark was earmarked for relocation to Tokyo Disneyland (following the completion of Expo '88). However, hairdresser Stefan Ackerie stepped in and purchased the Skyneedle, which was then relocated to the Stefan HQ at South Brisbane. After purchase, Stefan added his firm's signature rainbow rings logo to the top of the tower.

| - Le Skyneedle est une tour de télécommunications située à Brisbane, en Australie. Édifié à l'occasion de l'exposition internationale de 1988, cet édifice aux formes modernistes culminant à 88 mètres devait être démonté et reconstruit pièce par pièce dans la parc d'attractions Tokyo Disneyland à l'issue de la manifestation. Désireux de conserver la structure en Australie, l'homme d'affaires Stefan Ackerie s'en porte acquéreur. Après la fin de l'exposition, le Skyneedle est ainsi déplacé de quelques centaines de mètres et intégré au siège social de la chaîne de salons de coiffure Stefan. (fr)

| - Le Skyneedle est une tour de télécommunications située à Brisbane, en Australie. Édifié à l'occasion de l'exposition internationale de 1988, cet édifice aux formes modernistes culminant à 88 mètres devait être démonté et reconstruit pièce par pièce dans la parc d'attractions Tokyo Disneyland à l'issue de la manifestation. Désireux de conserver la structure en Australie, l'homme d'affaires Stefan Ackerie s'en porte acquéreur. Après la fin de l'exposition, le Skyneedle est ainsi déplacé de quelques centaines de mètres et intégré au siège social de la chaîne de salons de coiffure Stefan. La tour est équipée d'un puissant laser, dont la portée peut atteindre 60 kilomètres par temps clair. Jusqu'en 2009, celui-ci n'était cependant utilisé qu'à de rares occasions, afin de ne pas perturber la circulation aérienne. Le 4 novembre 2006, la tour est victime d'un départ d'incendie provoqué par un défaut d'alimentation électrique (problème qui a déjà affecté l'édifice en 1988). Sérieusement endommagée, elle est cependant restaurée à l'identique. Le 14 mars 2009, la partie supérieure de la tour est ôtée afin de l'équiper d'un nouveau système de laser. Les premiers tests débutent le 23 avril pour une activation effective le 1er mai 2009. (fr)
- The Skyneedle is a prominent feature of the Brisbane skyline which was constructed especially for World Expo 88. The 88 m landmark was earmarked for relocation to Tokyo Disneyland (following the completion of Expo '88). However, hairdresser Stefan Ackerie stepped in and purchased the Skyneedle, which was then relocated to the Stefan HQ at South Brisbane. After purchase, Stefan added his firm's signature rainbow rings logo to the top of the tower. The Skyneedle's light, which is capable of emitting a beam of light that may be seen 60 kilometres (37 mi) away, is rarely seen except on special occasions, because of safety concerns for flight paths around Brisbane Airport. On 4 November 2006, the Skyneedle caught fire due to an electrical fault, this incident being the second of its kind after a similar fire had broken out in 1988. Subsequent investigations have found that the fault was most likely caused by bird droppings. Ackerie has stated that it will be restored to its former glory. On 5 November 2006, Ackerie revealed that the Skyneedle will be technologically overhauled with the additional feature of a sound system. On 14 March 2009, the top 22-metre section of the Skyneedle was removed. Stefan announced that the section was being rebuilt with new laser technology. The Skyneedle, with its new technology, made its debut on Thursday 23 April 2009 but was officially activated on Friday 1 May by Stefan and Channel Nine weatherman Garry Youngberry on the 6pm news. The new lightshow includes an RGB LED display strip from Italy and a powerful set of German-made spotlights. As of 2019 however, the Skyneedle's light system has once again stalled. In April 2015 Ackerie announced that he was selling the Skyneedle and the surrounding land to Pradella Group who planned to incorporate the tower into a 12-storey residential apartment complex. This development was granted approval by the Brisbane City Council in August 2015 with Lord Mayor Graham Quirk announcing that the Skyneedle would be integrated into the development with a café being opened underneath it.
