In 2024, Australia and the Solomon Islands launched a groundbreaking initiative to increase the number of qualified women entering the male-dominated construction sector in the Solomon Islands. The Green Construction Training Program was designed to equip 20 women with essential skills and certifications in construction and solar power systems. Through the program, participants earned a Certificate II in Construction via the Australia Pacific Training Coalition and completed a one-month course on solar panel design, installation, and maintenance at the Solomon Islands National University. The program has been life-changing for women like Daisy. After completing her training, she received a scholarship to pursue a Certificate III in Carpentry. Upon graduation, she joined Reeves, where she gained hands-on experience in safety protocols and site management. In October 2024, Daisy took the next step in her career, securing a role on the Australian-funded Naha Birthing and Urban Health Centre project, delivered through the Australia–Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program as part of the #SiAusPartnership. We’re proud to support the next generation of infrastructure meres!

On the 26th of January, it is essential to reflect on the significance of this date in Australia’s shared histories. Whilst there is much to celebrate about the country we live in, we recognise that for First Nations individuals and communities, the date is particularly challenging. While the Icon Group does not officially endorse or celebrate this day in a historical capacity, the 26th of January is a designated national public holiday. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. We encourage you to use this day as an opportunity to reflect on our shared histories, deepen your cultural understanding, and engage meaningfully with the experiences of First Nations peoples. Many events and activities across the country provide opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate the contributions of First Nations communities.

Yesterday we welcomed Acting Minister for Housing and Building Hon. Melissa Horne and Member for Albert Park, Nina Taylor MP to the site, where construction has officially begun on 408 new modern, accessible, energy-efficient, and sustainable homes. At Icon, we’re proud to be part of this transformative redevelopment under the innovative Ground Lease Model, working alongside Tetris Capital, Community Housing Ltd, and Homes Victoria to deliver better housing outcomes for Victorians. This project represents a 46% boost in social housing on site, with more than 200 social and affordable homes replacing 89 homes that no longer meet modern standards. The new homes will provide vital housing. With a focus on sustainability, the homes will achieve a 5-star Green Star rating and an average NatHERS rating of 7-stars, reducing energy bills while improving comfort. We’re also thrilled to play a role in delivering housing that supports diverse households, including Specialist Disability Accommodation for high physical support needs, landscaped open spaces, and a multi-purpose community room. This redevelopment is just 3km from Melbourne’s CBD, close to transport, schools, and services, making it a vital part of the Victorian Government’s $6.3 billion commitment to deliver more than 13,300 social and affordable homes across the state. #BarakBeacon #GroundLeaseModel #SocialHousing #AffordableHousing #IconConstruction #Sustainability #CommunityBuilding
