The ECU City campus reached a major milestone last week, with the campus officially reaching its full structural height. The ‘topping out’ milestone marks major progress on one of Perth’s most significant developments, with internal fit-out and finishing works continuing throughout 2025 ahead of the campus opening in 2026. ECU City will feature state-of-the-art learning, engagement and performance spaces giving students and staff access to learn, teach, create and perform in world-class spaces. The new home for WAAPA includes a Playhouse Theatre, Recital Hall, Flex Theatre, Jazz and Contemporary Venue, Aboriginal Performance venue, and Dance Theatre, along with a range of teaching spaces and rehearsal venues, workshop areas and dressing rooms. Haworth Tompkins is working with Australian architects Lyons, Perth-based Silver Thomas Hanley, theatre consultants Charcoalblue, acoustics designers Marshall Day Acoustics, Head Contractor Multiplex and engineers Stantec. ECU City is located on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people.

Dear SoundPLAN users, We are pleased to announce that we have released the new version 6.0 of our SoundPLANessential software, designed for standard noise reports for smaller-scale or occasional projects. SoundPLANessential 6.0 offers you great advantages e.g.: - Completely redesigned user interface and an even more intuitive workflow for project work. - Improved easy and fast concept for combining different types of noise and documentation of the results for individual noise types or the sum level. - The access to the calculations has been enhanced and is now more present with its own tab and all calculation settings directly visible. - The 3D graphics has been reworked and is now faster and with more brilliant clarity than ever before. The software also includes a number of new benefits such as the implementation of the propagation calculation according to ISO 9613-2:2024, clear appearance for high DPI monitors or a flexible angle mode for the data entry. For more information about the new version of SoundPLANessential 6.0 please visit our website. https://bit.ly/3BftHsw #SoundPLAN #SoundPLANessential #Acoustics #NoiseControl #SoftwareUpdate

MDA worked with Fulton Hogan and the project team to assess noise effects from the new Marini 'Top Tower 2500' asphalt plants. With the exception of the Drury site, these plants were installed on brownfield locations. With acoustic mitigation measures as standard, they are appreciably quieter than existing plants. Another meaningful step in making the world a better sounding place! #acoustics #environmentalnoise #noisemitigation #engineering #collaboration Mathew Cottle
The second of Fulton Hogan’s four new Marini 2500 batch asphalt plants has been commissioned, a further step in advancing New Zealand’s asphalt capability and the sustainability of its production. Producing up to 200 tonnes per hour, the new plant in Drury increases capacity for the Auckland region and complements Fulton Hogan’s existing plants in Silverdale and Mount Wellington. A further Marini 2500 plant has been consented for Tauranga (a joint venture between Fulton Hogan and Downer) and another is planned for Wellington (Fulton Hogan). Although the figures can only be confirmed once production is underway and Fulton Hogan does not rely on projections, the manufacturer – Italy’s Marini – says the performance of other Marini 2500 plants suggest 30 percent less energy will be required per tonne of asphalt produced compared with a traditional plant. Divisional Manager Industries, Jonathan Garton, says the investment is part of a company-wide drive to 'engineer out' and drive down carbon emissions by investing in modern plant and equipment. Advances in asphalt making technology enables REA® (Fulton Hogan’s reduced energy asphalt) to be made at between 95⁰C and 140⁰C, compared with 170⁰C for traditional asphalt production. The batch process provides greater control over the quality of the final product through more accurate weighing and measuring of inputs. This, in turn, provides more consistent product performance – a key element in sustainability. National Environmental Manager, Dale Eastham, says producing asphalt at lower temperatures and more accurately is particularly important given the energy that process (industrial) heating requires. “Asphalt and bitumen activities contribute around 20% of Fulton Hogan's New Zealand carbon footprint, making lower temperature production critically important.” The new plant’s sustainability credentials include the ability to produce mixes with 40% recycled asphalt.

Exciting news for the Edith Cowan University city campus. We are proud to be part of this transformative project and look forward to seeing the vision come to life! #ECUCity #EdithCowanUniversity #WAAPA #education #performingarts #acoustics
Today, we announced a landmark $30 million, 25-year philanthropic partnership with Minderoo Foundation to support Edith Cowan University’s Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. The largest donation ever to be received by an Australian performing arts institution will support ECU and WAAPA’s vision to deliver a bold new stage at ECU City, including state-of-the-art performance and learning venues, as well as internationally distinguished performance training for emerging artists. When our flagship new campus opens in semester one, 2026, students will learn, create and perform in world-class spaces. The $853 million ECU City project is the centrepiece of the $1.7 billion Perth City Deal – a collaboration between the Australian Government, the Western Australian Government and ECU to deliver Perth’s first fully comprehensive, inner-city university campus. Find out more about the partnership: https://lnkd.in/gbbPUZzh #ECUCity #EdithCowanUniversity #MinderooFoundation #WAAPA #PerthCityDeal #AusGovInfrastructure

As seen in this month's VPELA Revue, MDA is pleased to offer Sound Thinking with Liz Hui, donation-based noise guidance for developers and town planners at the early stages of the planning process. Acoustic guidance at the preliminary stage of the planning process can save time and money and lead to better design outcomes. Liz Hui, a Senior Associate with extensive experience in the planning industry is the main point of contact for this initiative.

Shaun King recently visited the Central Interceptor May Road site, where he went down a 75m shaft and ventured a short distance into the 4.5m wide tunnel. Shaun said it was great to see the tunnel in person after so much hard work has gone into the surface sites. The Central Interceptor is the largest wastewater project in New Zealand, with the tunnel running for 16.2km from Herne Bay to Māngere. To deliver the project, there are 17 construction sites along the tunnel route. Marshall Day Acoustics, led by Mat Cottle, first became involved in the Central Interceptor project in 2011 when they were engaged by Watercare to assess construction and operational noise effects. This involved ambient noise level monitoring, computer noise modelling, preparation of the noise impact assessment, input to the formulation of resource consent and designation conditions, and presentation of expert evidence at the hearing. Since 2019, the MDA team has worked closely with the Ghella Abergeldie JV to predict and assess construction noise and vibration, prepare Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans and Activity-Specific Noise Management Plans, assist with neighbour consultation, construction noise and vibration monitoring, and train the Environmental team on noise and vibration monitoring. The MDA team, consisting of Mathew Cottle, Shaun King, and Reuben Jelleyman, has enjoyed working on such an interesting project with Watercare Services Limited and Ghella Abergeldie Joint Venture (GAJV) and appreciates the opportunity to visit the tunnel. #CentralInterceptor #wastewater #tunneling #engineering #environmentalnoise #acoustics Photo 1: Muck bin being lifted out of shaft Photo 2: View up shaft Photo 3: Noise shed over shaft to enable 24/7 tunneling Photo 4: Shaun King in tunnel Photo 5: Tunnel Photo 6: locomotive delivering liners to TBM
