🏆 Award Winning Project 🎉 The Causeway Link Alliance won the 'Planning with Country' Award for the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges project at the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) WA State Awards for Planning Excellence awards evening held on Friday 8 November 2024 The award recognises projects that promote collaboration, understanding, appreciation, awareness and celebrates Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander knowledge, culture and tradition and their application to planning and land management.   The award also recognises projects that advance or address the needs and aspirations of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples involved in the project.  Design of the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges, now known as Boorloo Bridge, was informed by accurate cultural narrative of the area from the Matagarup Elders Group over three years. Five Noongar artists are creating public art for the areas around the new bridges which will 'reflect Noongar culture and connections, both ancient and contemporary. Main Roads Project Director Mike Kapitola accepted the award on behalf of the Causeway Link Alliance and Matagarup Elders Group. The project will now compete with winners from other States for the National PIA Awards held next year. We look forward to the grand opening of the Boorloo Bridge on Sunday 22 December 2024!

Transformér fremfor at bygge nyt ♻️🌍 Byggesektoren er ansvarlig for næsten 40 % af de globale CO2-udledninger, når både driftsenergi og indlejret energi i byggematerialer tælles med. Ifølge en rapport fra World Green Building Council fordeler det sig med 28 % fra energiforbrug til opvarmning, køling og belysning samt 11 % fra CO2 indlejret i byggematerialer og konstruktionsprocesser. Dette understreger behovet for en bæredygtig tilgang til byggeri – og en transformation af eksisterende bygninger spiller en nøglerolle i løsningen. Hos a:gain [again] er vi stolte over at have bidraget til transformationen af PKA Ejendommes kontor i samarbejde med et stærkt hold af partnere: - Arkitekter: Dissing+Weitling   - Indretning: formcph - Forhandler: HOLMRIS B8 Akustikløsningerne til projektet er blandt andet en kombinationen af vores egne Ebbø akustikpaneler og paneler fra AKUART A/S. Ebbø-panelerne fra a:gain gør en forskel ved at redde 4,8 kg affald pr. m² akustikpanel. Dette er en praktisk demonstration af, hvordan cirkulære produkter kan mindske byggeriets klimapåvirkning. Er du interesseret i at sænke klimapåvirkningen i dit næste projekt? Kontakt os for at høre mere om, hvordan a:gain’s cirkulære byggeprodukter kan hjælpe dig.

Our Kangaroo Point Bridge has been awarded an Excellent Rating under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s Design Rating scheme, for its sustainable design features and innovative approach to minimising construction impacts to the environment and community. Sustainability was a key principle for this new bridge during both its design and construction, including the use of renewable energy, local suppliers and innovative technology. The bridge features extensive use of native shade plants for natural cooling and, once operational, the bridge’s 75 solar panels will generate enough power to offset its own energy usage. Find out more about the Kangaroo Point Bridge and join us at its opening event on Sunday 15 December: https://lnkd.in/gKVh7qTr #SEQCityDeal @ausgov
