On Thursday, 14 November, we attended an event hosted by Ecologi inviting professionals in the construction and infrastructure industries to learn about Keon Park Station's eco-design implementations.
In collaboration with Level Crossings Removal Program, we repurposed an end-of-life Manna Gum as seating in the public leisure space below the elevated train station.
Our Marketing Coordinator spoke to attendees about the short supply chain, as the logs travelled from our urban sawmill near Tullamarine airport, to our profiler in the Dandenong, and back to the area it grew as rich-brown, stylish batten seating.
Manna Gum timber remaining from the eight trees salvaged in this collaboration were integrated into Fair Wood's retail supply.
