19.01.2022 Nice article on a presentation I did for Surf Coast Shire on how to manage stormwater quality discharging from the proposed development in the Spring Creek valley at Torquay. Front page of this week’s Surf Coast Times.

19.01.2022 This grassy slope in Bellbrae is the future site of a low impact ‘zorbing’ facility. Zorbing is the recreation of rolling downhill inside an orb made of transparent plastic. Second Nature Engineering has assisted with concept plans for planning purposes and will provide detailed engineering design for the zorb tracks, water management and other civil works.

16.01.2022 Looking forward to sponsoring & helping out again at this years Sustainable House Day. Get along & get inspired!

15.01.2022 I have been heartened today to learn that Engineers Australia is having an information session on environmental accounting, that is, how do we value the natural environment and use that data in the planning and feasibility stages of engineering projects? I haven’t been to any of these events for at least a decade but I’ll be going to this one!

14.01.2022 It’s exciting being a part of a new consulting hub in Torquay, Victoria. Here is an article about it in this week’s Surf Coast Times

13.01.2022 An enjoyable day was had helping out with Sustainable House Day at Aaron & Holly’s house in Torquay on Sunday. Here Aaron gives a rundown on some of the features in their home which is a typical first home owner’s house. Aaron & Holly were able to work with the builder to incorporate many sustainability measures without going over budget. Simple things like good orientation of the house so that living areas have good access to northerly sun, design of eaves to keep summer sun... out and good cross flow ventilation for cooling. All of these things are free and have a large influence over how much heating and cooling is required in the home to stay comfortable. Combined with clever use of insulation and insulating building materials, ceiling fans, double glazing to trap the energy of winter sun and honeycomb blinds, the temperature does not rise above 27 degrees in summer and stays above 14 degrees in winter. No air conditioning required! Photo courtesy of Julia Brangwyn & thanks to SCEG & Julia for organizing the weekend of events! See more

12.01.2022 Love this idea: community resource sharing, lower your carbon footprint, all that good stuff!

11.01.2022 Second Nature Engineering was very pleased to be a part of the recently completed Meredith Streetscape Project. Each of the 4 corners of the town centre have been transformed into areas that are more useable by the general public. Second Nature provided parking and stormwater drainage design. Landscape design & project management by Perry Mills. If you’re on your way to the Meredith Music Festival this weekend, check out the new living area in front of the pub, complete with couch. It recognises those punters who roll up with one or more couches upon which they absorb the music for the weekend.

08.01.2022 An interesting project that Second Nature provided the thermal performance assessment for a couple of years ago, inspired by the restaurant attached to the Burj Al Arab in Dubai realestate.com.au

04.01.2022 Currently working on upgrading the environmental credentials of this 33 year old building in Ryrie Street, Geelong. Second Nature is looking at ways to improve the building's energy, water, stormwater, materials, indoor environment quality, transport, waste and urban ecology.

02.01.2022 Excited to announce that after 10 years working in a home office, Second Nature Engineering will be expanding into an office in Torquay. Getting some carpentry and electrical work done at the moment and moving in next week.
