Perth, are you ready to lift off?! ?? The Byford Rail Extension Project has constructed four platform buildings for the new Armadale Station off site??? ??? This modular construction method means better quality, faster delivery and a safer work environment. The first of four buildings, weighing 24.6 tonnes and measuring 14.5m long, 4m wide, and 4.5m high, was successfully installed this week. A custom designed lifting halo made it all possible, ensuring each building despite different weights and centres of gravity are safely lifted into place with precision.

?? The Byford Rail Extension is coming to life! Watch the incredible transformation from December 2023 to December 2024 as this project takes shape ?? Once complete, residents in Byford and Armadale will enjoy a seamless 42-minute train ride straight to the Perth CBD! ?????

We had an amazing time this week at the Acknowledge This! workshop. Rhys and Emma led an interactive and educational session, where we learned how to confidently deliver an authentic Acknowledgement of Country ?? They shared their personal stories and perspectives, offering valuable insights from both Aboriginal and non-Indigenous viewpoints. Through open conversation, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of how to honour both modern and traditional culture in Australia, we all left feeling empowered to deliver an Acknowledgement of Country that truly comes from the heart ?? A big thank you to Rhys and Emma for their wisdom and to Gather Foods for the delicious snacks! ????
