The newest issue of the Australian National Construction Review is out! It’s always a privilege to work with the remarkable teams that bring Australia’s major construction projects to life. Every issue I am reminded of the incredible wealth of knowledge, skill and innovation within the industry, and the application of those skills speak for themselves. Along with some truly stunning projects from Hickory , Mirvac , Hansen Yuncken , Diecorp, and Geocon Group, the issue also puts a spotlight on concrete, celebrating the versatility of this medium, and the cutting-edge solutions resulting in low-carbon concrete innovations and sustainable practices which can contribute to reaching project carbon goals. The next issue is well underway and I look forward to sharing it with you all shortly. 📖 Read now - https://lnkd.in/gg-SZKeU #ConstructionNews #IndustryInnovation #ANCR #AustralianConstruction #BuildingTheFuture #Sustainability

Attention development engineers, particularly those in public works! I highly recommend attending the upcoming IPWEA NSW & ACT Development Engineering Forum. This forum is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable insights from industry experts. One of the highlights will be a presentation by Christopher Wahbe on "Council Officer vs Private Certifier – what are the differences, is there a difference?" This promises to be a fascinating discussion for anyone involved in land development. Here's why you should attend: Learn from industry leaders: Gain valuable insights from case studies presented by experts in the field. Stay up-to-date: Discover current practices and future developments in the development engineering sector. Network with colleagues: Connect with other development engineers and public works professionals. Focus on sustainability: The forum will explore the integration of sustainable practices into engineering projects.

Torridge District Council submits revised plans for Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre Torridge District Council has announced the submission of revised plans for the Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre (ACMIC), following a thorough consultation process with the public and stakeholders. The updated application, identified as ref: 1/1179/2023/LA, reflects significant changes based on community feedback and evolving construction cost considerations. Councillor Ken James, Leader of Torridge District Council, commented on the updates: “Whilst this a positive and considered response to public feedback, the revised plans also consider ongoing construction cost inflation. As such, we have looked to improve the efficiency of the building, by optimising the lettable area, reducing ancillary spaces and ensuring that the completed building fully responds to current and future market requirements. We strongly believe that these amendments ensure that we have the right plans for the right location, which we hope will put Appledore and Torridge at the forefront of innovation and investment in clean maritime energy.” The updated plans for the ACMIC are now available for public viewing on the Torridge District Council Portal. The revised scheme is scheduled to be presented to the planning committee for final approval in the Autumn. #innovation #maritime #marine #ISeaSMEs #SOCSEA24 https://lnkd.in/ekUREQGg
