This issue takes us inside a diverse selection of major developments, exploring the projects, people and solutions shaping Australia’s built environment.

Our cover features Built Environ’s Modbury Hospital Health Precinct in South Australia. The project illustrates how major hospital expansions are being designed to meet growing demand for mental health and cancer services without disrupting continuity of care, offering a window into the planning and delivery decisions shaping contemporary healthcare infrastructure.

Also in the health sector, we explore Hansen Yuncken’s South Australian Ambulance Service Precinct and Brenan Place.

This issue highlights some stunning multi-residential projects covering co-living accommodation, design-led inner-city residential developments, and community-focused design: Addison Street Marrickville and The Archibald Mosman (TQM Group), 98-100 St Hilliers Road Auburn (EY United), LOUISE – 8 Louise Street (Samiel Property), Windsor Place (Chapter Group) and St Clair (Habitat Development Group).

Adding to the mix is the new retail precinct Gateway Kelso (Akura), demonstrating the strength of vertically integrated models in delivering high-quality, multi-tenant retail hubs.

Regionally, we take a look at the new Art Gallery of Swan Hill (Swan Hill Rural City Council).

Inside, you’ll also find a curated collection of case studies, innovative products, and project features from leading suppliers, consultants, and contractors across the nation, focusing on the facades and cladding industry in our Facades Major Special Feature, back by popular demand.
