Queanbeyan Civic and Cultural Precinct is an $83 million capital works project commissioned by the QPR Council in 2021 and is due for completion in late 2023. The new development will consist of 2 towers with 5 levels, a connection to the QTheatre, an art gallery, extensive community space (including a rooftop garden), onsite parking and lettable commercial space. The precinct will replace QPR Council’s old administration building and is an essential component of the council’s CBD Transformation Strategy.

The post pandemic labour market is tight and many plumbing contractors are finding it challenging to find suitable skilled labour to install piping systems, and when they do it comes with a large price tag.

Surepress stainless steel pressfit systems are ten times faster to install than traditional piping systems due to its innovative pressfit system. The Supress pressfit system requires no welding or hot work permits. In addition, to ensure complete and proper installation and make inspection easy, the system uses an innovative QA ‘check- sleeve’ and a hand-held bluetooth installation tool with reporting capability.
