The Queensland Government has announced that the replacement state-of-the-art Maryborough Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Complex will be built using engineered timber solutions from Hyne Timber. The design will retain and restore the existing heritage valued brick façade.
Welcoming the announcement, Hyne Timber executive director James Hyne said the project would support regional jobs while showcasing the many qualities of glue laminated and cross laminated timber.
“Hyne Timber has been a proud part of Maryborough’s history since 1882 with a strong focus on innovation,” Hyne said.
“We know the existing building has local heritage value, so it was important to us to retain and even restore the iconic façade as part of the design.
