Locally sourced through Collins Booksellers Tamworth, the books promote and celebrate women in construction. 

Congratulations to the NAWIC Regional Commitee and our own <Kyle Bosworth>. Each school received newsletters to spark classroom conversations about careers in the industry.

Smoking Ceremony – Integrated Mental Health Complex (IMHC) 

NAIDOC Week 2025 

To celebrate NAIDOC Week, a smoking ceremony was held at the Integrated Mental Health Complex (IMHC) construction site. Over 100 guests attended, with the event livestreamed to RCC projects and offices across NSW, QLD and the ACT. 

Designed with input from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and guided by connecting with Country principles, the IMHC will be a culturally safe and inclusive space. 

Dharug Elder Uncle Colin Locke led the Welcome to Country, joined by Liame Harte from our Indigenous advisory partner Tika. Local Dharug artist Leanne Watson contributed a custom artwork reflecting the connection between Country, community and the IMHC, which will be displayed in the site office. 

The project’s procurement strategy supports Aboriginal participation. Nearby childcare centres received culturally themed books illustrated by Leanne Watson to support early learning about First Nations Culture.

Winner – Sirius – Award for Residential Architecture (Multiple Housing) 

2025 NSW Architecture Awards 

“The renovation of the Sirius building in Sydney’s Rocks is a dance of old and new and a case study in the retention, restoration, and interpretation of brutalist architecture,” commended the Australian Institute of Architects’ NSW jury. 

Winner – Sirius – Award for Residential Architecture (Multiple Housing), 2025 NSW Architecture Awards. 

The restoration of the iconic Sirius building into modern apartments represents significant adaptive reuse. Sirius features 75 apartments and premium amenities, including revitalised common area (the Phillip Room) and wellness facilities.
