Mass Timber Market Updates - June 2021 - Week Twentyfive

In this weeks mass timber construction update. The launch of the new $110m Auckland City Mission HQ being finished, tallest NZ wood building. Bates Smart’s 25 King Street Building, located in the Brisbane Showgrounds, has been named the Best Tall Building Under 100 Metres by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The honour, awarded at an international level, recognises the best tall buildings around the world. Glued laminated timber beams spanning 42 metres in length have been hauled from Port Melbourne to South Australia’s Wulanda Recreation and Convention Centre construction site, the longest single ‘glulam’ beams ever shipped to Australia, the City of Mount Gambier announces. The University of Newcastle’s newly completed Q Building, has overcome the hurdles of the pandemic to open its doors right on schedule, despite the challenges of incorporating innovative and sustainable materials. Hansen Yuncken used timber extensively throughout the building to reduce embodied carbon and minimise construction waste. CLTP Tasmania has officially launched the world’s first hardwood Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), along with their new brand – Cusp Building Solutions. Cusp CLT is made from Tasmanian Plantation Oak (Eucalyptus Nitens) sourced from certified sustainable plantations grown in Tasmania. Using a resource that is currently exported as wood chips, they have created a world-leading mass timber product for the Australian building industry.
