OUR PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
GPS Rugby & Valleys Cricket Clubhouse
The $3.4 million redevelopment of the GPS Rugby & Valleys Cricket Clubhouse involved a refurbishment of the existing clubhouse building, featuring a new glazed entrance structure. The project also included the demolition of the existing administration buildings to make way for modern staff and merchandise offices, along with state-of-the-art gym facilities for the club’s use.
A key feature of the new structure is its roof, sitting at 6.7 metres tall – more than double the original building’s height of 3 metres. Achieving this required removing the building’s central portion. To accommodate the large open spans and support the higher walls, custom-designed portal frames were integrated to provide lateral bracing.
Beachside, Hervey Bay
Situated fronting Dundowran Beach in Hervey Bay, the Beachside development is a 250-hectare masterplanned community set to contain over 1,500 residential lots. This coastline development is set to be delivered over 50 stages. We provided civil and flood consulting, including a master earthworks strategy, flooding and stormwater management, water network analysis, trunk watermain design, and road and intersection upgrades.
BACK AT HQ
Inertia's MO'ment
Fresh-faced and ready to mo! Throughout the month of November, we will be raising funds and awareness for men’s health issues as part of the Movember movement.
To push our fundraising a little bit further, over 40 Inertians have joined the 60 km MOVE-mber challenge.
That’s 60 km for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every hour across the world.
Men are dying too young and we can’t afford to stay silent. We are doing this for our extended Inertian family; the brothers, fathers, partners, sons and mates in our lives.
We surpassed our fundraising target in the first week, so we’ve increased our goal to $6,000 – let’s smash it!
Meet our Associates – Jodie Egan
Introducing Jodie Egan, our Associate and Housing Drafting Lead.
“I ended up in structural drafting by accident; I didn’t know it existed when I was doing work experience. After high school, I just stumbled upon an ad for a structural drafting apprenticeship. Yes, it was an apprenticeship, like a plumber or a sparkie!” said Jodie.
Having ticked over the decade milestone this year, Jodie has long been an important part of the Inertia journey.
“In January 2012, my husband and I relocated to Brisbane, where I met with Scott and Dave and was introduced to Inertia. I had experience working for small companies and helping build their teams, so I saw that potential immediately. When I arrived, we were a team of five people, and all but one is still a part of the team today.”
