Goodman and Taylor | Australia welcomed Leslie McLeod, a Yuin, Dharawal and Ngarigo custodian and loreman and Daniel Ella, a Yuin, Dharawal loreman and firekeeper to perform the smoking ceremony at Proximity@Botany, in which the site and team were smoked and cleansed, and a perimeter walk was conducted to protect the site. Afterwards the team enjoyed a delicious Koori Fusion experience with Jo from Goanna Hut . Thank you for a reflective and rewarding morning for all involved.

Proximity@Botany is a brand new 5.7 hectare industrial development offering modern warehouse and office spaces in the heart of Banksmeadow. The facility comprises 31,000sqm of high-quality space with the flexibility to split into smaller units from 3,000sqm. Other key features include on-grade and recessed docks, 45m heavy duty hardstand, solar PV array for each tenancy, ESFR sprinklers, LED lighting and 15m wide awning for all-weather loading.

Minister for Water, Property, and Housing, The Hon. Melinda Pavey MP, joined the event to announce the $16 million social housing development that will be delivered by Taylor.  This new development will deliver more than 40 social housing homes as part of the NSW Government’s ongoing commitment to social housing in Western Sydney. Due for completion in the second half of 2022, Team Taylor looks forward to delivering this high-quality project that will provide 65 people in need with a place to call home. 

Stockland CEO Tarun Gupta was joined by the Hon. Victor Dominello MP, NSW Minister for Digital and Customer Service for a tour of the flagship technology and life sciences precinct.

Team Taylor is excited to deliver this important project for the community that is designed to bring people together in a flexible space, designed around the principles of Collaboration and Wellbeing.

NAWIC advocates for an equitable construction industry where women fully participate. Jessica’s national appointment is a natural progression from her commitment to NAWIC and women in construction at State level. 

Taylor looks forward to building our engagement with NAWIC and supporting Jess in her new role as we move into 2022.

Team Taylor is looking forward to delivering the new 6 Star Green Star logistics and warehouse facility representing world-leading sustainable development for tenant, Bunzl Australia & New Zealand.

 Works involve the complete design and construction of a new 21,300sqm warehouse, 1400sqm two level office, 240sqm two level dock office, 480sqm battery charge room and external areas including retaining walls, hardstand and car parking areas.

The young people living here will be safe and feel empowered to learn life skills, study and know that their development means something for themselves and the many in the industry who want to give them a helping hand.

The house will be specifically focused on the unique and cultural needs of vulnerable Aboriginal youth, who are over-represented in the out-of-home care system. Stepping Stone House is committed to being inclusive and supportive of Aboriginal Australians and Taylor was honoured to be part of this initiative. 

Whether onsite or in the office, every single person at work has to have the confidence to approach their manager if there’s something troubling them.

After facing the many pressures of COVID, mental health has become one of the most urgent safety issues in construction. It has always been a challenge – construction sites have not always been known as open, accepting environments to discuss and address mental health. Significant progress has been made, but COVID introduced an unprecedented level of uncertainty and tension, impacting the mental health of all construction site-based personnel around Australia.

The safety and wellbeing of each individual directly affects the whole team. Safety procedures are always critical onsite, but COVID-19 is adding layers of administration and procedures where people are already carrying extra loads. It’s crucial that they have the right tools and support, alongside acknowledgement of what they’re dealing with every day.

A simple ‘thank-you’ can be the difference between someone going home feeling exhausted and low, or feeling like it has been a good day. In challenging times like now, this matters more than ever.
