Mass Timber Market Updates - June 2021 - Week Twentyfive

In this weeks mass timber construction update. The launch of the
new $110m Auckland City Mission HQ being finished, tallest NZ
wood building. Bates Smart’s 25 King Street Building, located in
the Brisbane Showgrounds, has been named the Best Tall Building
Under 100 Metres by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban
Habitat (CTBUH). The honour, awarded at an international level,
recognises the best tall buildings around the world. Glued
laminated timber beams spanning 42 metres in length have been
hauled from Port Melbourne to South Australia’s Wulanda
Recreation and Convention Centre construction site, the longest
single ‘glulam’ beams ever shipped to Australia, the City of
Mount Gambier announces. The University of Newcastle’s newly
completed Q Building, has overcome the hurdles of the pandemic to
open its doors right on schedule, despite the challenges of
incorporating innovative and sustainable materials. Hansen
Yuncken used timber extensively throughout the building to reduce
embodied carbon and minimise construction waste. CLTP Tasmania
has officially launched the world’s first hardwood Cross
Laminated Timber (CLT), along with their new brand – Cusp
Building Solutions.  Cusp CLT is made from Tasmanian
Plantation Oak (Eucalyptus Nitens) sourced from certified
sustainable plantations grown in Tasmania. Using a resource that
is currently exported as wood chips, they have created a
world-leading mass timber product for the Australian building
industry.
