The North Kirra coastline is one of the Gold Coast's most iconic coastal environments, and we're proud to be partnering with Lacey Groupon the Bilinga project.

Our environmental team MRA, now part of MLEI, has delivered a comprehensive Waste Management Plan to support the responsible and sustainable delivery of this exciting foreshore development.

Effective waste management is a key component of environmental stewardship, helping to minimise impacts, maximise resource recovery, and ensure compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

We're looking forward to seeing this project take shape and contribute to the future of the North Kirra community.

Three years. One approval. A site like no other.

Bilinga. Direct esplanade frontage overlooking North Kirra.

We've spent three years creating a design worthy of a location this rare. Council approval is now secured. The wait was worth it.

Something iconic is coming to Pacific Parade.

The Adelaide Aquatic Centre is now open, and it’s more than just a pool.

Behind the scenes, this project challenged the way we deliver aquatic infrastructure. With construction moving while design continued to evolve, it required constant collaboration, clear communication and trust across the entire project team.

A key part of that success was the project teams leadership, whose ability to connect architecture, engineering and construction kept everything moving forward with confidence.

From advanced water filtration systems to fully integrated pool shell design, every detail was considered to deliver long-term performance, efficiency and user experience.

Now complete, the Centre stands as a sustainable, future-focused facility for South Australia, built to be used, enjoyed and relied on for generations.

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Easter break.

However you’re spending the long weekend, whether it’s quality time with family, catching up with friends, or simply taking a moment to recharge, we hope it’s restful and filled with the things that matter most.

If you’re travelling, please take care on the roads and arrive safely.

Yesterday we brought our incredible women together from across Australia, some in the room, others on the big screen, to mark International Women’s Day and reflect on this year’s theme: Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.

It was a genuine conversation.

About what equality really means in our industry.
About the systems and structures that shape who enters, who progresses and who feels heard.
About ensuring opportunity, pay and safety are equitable, not aspirational.

“For All” was an important part of the discussion. Progress must include women across cultures, backgrounds, ages, abilities and career stages.

There was reflection, insight and a lot of shared experience in the room. The women across our teams bring deep technical expertise, leadership, resilience and innovation to complex projects and the business every day, and that collective strength was very evident today.

International Women’s Day isn’t just a date in the calendar. It’s a reminder that Rights, Justice and Action require ongoing, shared effort, from all of us.

Proud of the conversations.
