Scape Australia’s Jonathan Combley, General Manager – Developments, Christian Gaitanos, Construction Manager, Adam Rogic, Development Manager, Carla Bisanti, Design & Project Manager, and fellow team members, along with Taylor attendees; Philip Bermingham, General Manager – Major Projects, Adam Towner, Head of New Business & Strategy, Peter Yamin, Project Director, Damian Fisher, Senior Site Manager, the Taylor project team and subcontractors welcomed Leslie McLeod, and Ngarigo Custodian and loreman and his nephew Owen to lead the smoking ceremony at Scape Australia’s new development, Scape Kingsford.

The cultural tradition of a smoking ceremony is undertaken to cleanse an area, protect a build site, and show respect to Elders past and present.

Located in the bustling heart of Kingsford, Scape Kingsford will set the benchmark for quality in student accommodation. Once complete, the precinct will greatly improve amenities in line with the Randwick City Council’s revitalisation strategy.

Taylor’s Major Project division will design and construct the 18-storey building. Comprising of both retail and commercial tenancies, the new development will include 354 modern rooms, communal and shared spaces, three retail spaces and basement parking for 16 cars, 100 motorcycles and 96 bicycles.

The Taylor team look forward to bringing this ground-breaking project to life – many thanks to all involved for a reflective and rewarding morning.
