"Great to see a commercial scale construction project in Maryborough prioritising local timber supply, but it also marks the first mass timber structure for the region ahead of the new Maryborough Fire Station construction getting underway."

Two Maryborough Families Unite to Support Jobs and Growth Between Hyne Timber and Rheinmetall NIOA Munitions (RNM), hundreds of jobs have been created in Maryborough for both shorter term construction and ongoing manufacturing capability into the future.

Timber highlighted as major part in reducing emissions and to advocate for faster change in the industry towards an improved standard of construction and more regenerative construction practices. Builders declare is a movement to raise awareness of the need for action in building construction.

Project leaders, industry and institutional partners and academics came together as a united group at a collaborative workshop in Brisbane last Thursday organised by the Centre for
Future Timber Structures / Future Timber Hub.
