H U M A N O F H U T C H I E S Continuing the theme of our celebrations of women in construction, last week Georgie Laverick, one of Hutchies’ Melbourne Project Managers, was part of an International Women’s Day event at our Sacred Heart Girls’ College project. Around 300 students, staff and consultants took part in a panel discussion on career pathways in construction and the built environment along with exclusive site tours around their new sports and wellness precinct throughout the day. Three out of Hutchies’ five people on this job are women, proudly led by Georgie who joined Hutchies in 2017. Hutchies is proud to have an incredible cohort of women on and off site across Australia who contribute to the success of our projects, business and communities every day. Our workforce numbers over the last 12 months are so encouraging for the next generation construction leaders: > 11 women were promoted internally within Hutchies > 53 new women joined the company > 6% of our on site workforce are women > 30% of our 2024/25 Summer School program were women > 48% of Hutchies’ cadets are women > 28% of Hutchies’ contract administrators are women Sacred Heart Girls' College / SEMZ Video by Sarah Louise Photography #iwd2025 #humanofhutchies #construction #cadet #careers #womeninconstruction

H U M A N O F H U T C H I E S To celebrate International Women’s Day, we spoke to Shona who recently joined Hutchies in our 2024/25 Cadet Summer School. Shona shared her experience in the construction industry and her shift to a cadetship with Hutchies. “For nearly six years, I have worked as a finance manager in the construction industry. From my very first day, walking into meetings as the only woman in the room, I became accustomed to a male-dominated environment. Recently, I shifted my career direction and joined Hutchies as part of the 2024/25 Summer School program. For the first time, I found myself no longer the sole woman in the room but often surrounded by other women. This experience made me realise that the industry must embrace this positive change and stop conditioning women to accept the male-dominated norm. Throughout the program and my transition into a team, it has become clear that Hutchies is leading the way in actively encouraging women to join the construction industry and supporting their career development and success. While I have been fortunate to work alongside incredible male professionals who have supported and taught me throughout my career, I am excited about a future where young professionals will look back on their influences and see a diverse list of mentors.” #iwd2025 #humanofhutchies #construction #cadet #careers

This Sunday is Clean Up Australia Day. Hutchies has a running tradition of taking family and friends over to North Straddie for the weekend to help with their annual beach clean up. Since 2018 we’ve removed more than 1,000kg of waste off the beach including ropes, foam, bottles, lighters, glow sticks, plastics & containers, bottle lids, an uncountable number of smaller micro plastics and much more. This is a joint initiative between Straddie Brewing Company, Hutchies, SeaLink Marine & Tourism, Point Lookout Surf Life Saving Club, Koala Graphix, Reef Check Australia and Bo Bean’s Coffee. If you’re out and about over the weekend, join the biggest ever clean up on Sunday 2 March.

Nicholas Street Precinct—joint winner of the 2024 Minister’s Award for Urban Design and winner of the Movement and Place Award. This design project is a testament to the impact of thoughtful, collaborative planning in the Ipswich City Council area. As the largest transformation of Ipswich’s city heart in three decades, the Nicholas Street Precinct creates a vibrant and inclusive hub for the community. The project integrates climate-responsive features like passive cooling, solar energy, and recycled water to ensure its adaptability to climate change. Well-defined, connected streets and spaces foster pedestrian-friendly environments to meet community needs, while diverse development forms support social interaction and economic vitality for the mixed-use precinct. The Minister’s Award for Urban Design celebrates the pivotal role of leading architects, landscape architects and planners in developing the culture, sustainability, and economy of our state. The Movement and Place Award celebrates projects that successfully integrate transport and movement outcomes to deliver a high-quality place that maximises social and economic benefits for communities across Queensland.

Hutchies completed the dismantle of 360 Queen Street’s jump form system earlier this month. That means we’re on the home stretch to finishing off this state of the art new office tower later this year. We’ve poured a total of 32,370 cubic metres of concrete to date with 2 levels of structure remaining. This is the equivalent of 13 Olympic swimming pools. We’re expecting to top out next month. When complete, 360 Queen Street will be one of the most technologically advanced buildings in Brisbane’s golden triangle.
