As our net zero deadlines draw closer and with less capital available for new builds the need to do more with what we have is critical. Reimagining, reusing and refurbishing our existing buildings over demolition brings a myriad of benefits including the reduction of embodied and upfront carbon, energy efficiency, cultural preservation and sustainable practice.

Learn about:

• the case for embodied carbon reduction and savings

• the increasingly important role adaptive reuse plays in driving impact

• considerations for adaptive reuse including electrification, circularity and waste

• the preservation of architectural heritage while reducing environmental impact

• learn how community consultation guided adaptive reuse in the restoration of Bondi Pavillion  

• the innovative construction methods and design features of Quay Quarter Tower

• the metamorphosis of 73 Miller Street where adaptive reuse breathed new life into an old building, creating quality, sustainable space.

• Gain insights into common challenges faced during projects and strategies to overcome them
