 In 2004, a new lease was negotiated with Parks Victoria, the government authority in charge of the land.The restaurant and surrounding gardens were given a $3.5 million facelift, and the site re-opened in December 2004, with the name officially being changed from "Mount Dandenong Observatory" to the current "SkyHigh Mount Dandenong".The renovations to the site included construction of an upstairs balcony and an enlarged viewing window.
