CDR’s Derwent Entertainment Centre project with Vos Construction also too part on the day. Whilst I’m sure the team would be happy to concede that their culinary offerings were perhaps not as ‘gourmet’ as the SRC site, I have it on good authority the line-up for lunch was definitely just as long! Well done to all involved.

SHORTS DAY 21st June was mental health charity ‘Speak Up Stay Chatty’ inaugural ‘Shorts Day’. Coinciding with the shortest day of the year the concept was formed around braving the cold and braving the conversation around mental health. We are well aware that too often people suffering mental health issues and depression will not speak up and seek professional help and assistance. It is also critically important for anyone and everyone who recognises changes in their colleagues’ behaviours to brave that conversation and to ask ‘Are you ok’. The concept is to brave getting outside ones’ comfort zone (as it is to wear shorts in the middle of winter) and to normalise the conversation to prioritise positive mental health. CDR were very proud to be a part of the first ever “Shorts Day”. At our Southern Remand Centre (SRC) project with Hansen Yuncken, Site Manager Aaron Warn and his team put on a superb spit roast worthy of a Michelin Star performance. Being assured it was nothing to do with keeping warm around the spit, there was certainly no shortage of chef volunteers to keep watch and prepare other items throughout the day.

CDR’S FORAY INTO LAUNCESTON Whilst CDR was born in Tasmania’s Southern and capital city of Hobart, it has long been a goal of the Management team to develop a sustainable business unit in the North of the state in Tasmania’s second largest city of Launceston. The first step in this process being to secure a key project upon the back of which we could build the team. After many attempts to achieve this goal, in June 2021 we finally made inroads and started our journey by securing our first Northern Tasmania project, the University of Tasmania’s River’s Edge Building with Fairbrother Constructions.
CDR’s Derwent Entertainment Centre project with Vos Construction also took part on the day. Whilst I’m sure the team would be happy to concede that their culinary offerings were perhaps not as ‘gourmet’ as the SRC site, I have it on good authority the line-up for lunch was definitely just as long! Well done to all involved. A huge ‘thank you’ to our partners who helped make our day a successful one, we were able to raise approximately $2,000 for an incredibly important charity.
