Projects

Commenced in 2023, this civil engineering and landscape construction project delivered essential infrastructure to support 109 suburban blocks and three multi-unit developments in Jacka, ACT.

This landscape remediation and enhancement project revitalised the Budjan Galindji Nature Reserve, focusing on habitat rehabilitation, stormwater drainage, and pathway construction using on-site materials. The work prioritised sustainability, ecological preservation, and cultural connection.

In partnership with Complex in 2020, YARA transformed 40 hectares of disused land, formerly sewerage ponds and a bomb disposal range, into a feature reserve. The project included pond capping, ordnance removal, pollution prevention, and the creation of an endangered species habitat. Today, Namarag is an educational space where families, students, and visitors can learn about Ngunnawal land, traditional foods, and cultural heritage.

The project involved the upgrade of the existing ground-level car park to a 1022-space five-storey above-ground car park. The car park upgrade is the first stage of a larger precinct upgrade of the area.

A decade after construction of the National Portrait Gallery, the basement waterproof membrane showed signs of failure, threatening the integrity of the building and valuable artworks. To remediate the issue, a new waterproof membrane was proposed to be installed over two stages.

Following the successful delivery of Stage 1 Investigation Works, the second stage of works included replacement of the failed waterproof membrane at the podium and entrance, structural concrete remediation, replacement of window units and replacement of timber floor and subfloors throughout the galleries.

Both Odgers and Verity Lanes are located in the historic Sydney and Melbourne Buildings in Canberra. We achieved a remarkable feat in delivering the upgrades to the laneways, which transformed and revitalised once dilapidated spaces into vibrant hubs.

The design included new street tree plantings with WSUD garden beds and alfresco dining areas to the frontage of existing and future cafes and restaurants. A central events area was constructed with large congregating spaces and social nooks, offering diversity in scale and size.

We provided supporting road and service infrastructure to the East Gungahlin High School, under simultaneous construction. The project was delivered within the project schedule, despite significant inclement weather delays and additional works transferred from the school construction contract. This project was delivered under a GC21 contract.

In just three short weeks, YARA revitalized critical infrastructure at the historic ADFA Duntroon precinct, delivering a complete transformation of the Community Centre Carpark and Aerodrome Road.
