INSIGHTS, UPDATES & PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS


iCIRT RATING UPGRADE | 4.5 STARS
We have achieved an improved iCIRT rating of 4.5 stars. This reflects how our governance, technical oversight and project delivery systems have continued to strengthen since our initial 4-star rating. The iCIRT assessment is detailed and demanding. It requires organisations to demonstrate financial stability, operational systems and clear professional accountability in a transparent way. This is what gives the rating its credibility. For an engineering consultancy, this matte

LUNCH & LEARN with VINIDEX
Electrofusion jointing plays a critical role in the performance of PE pressure systems, particularly where consistency and long-term reliability are required. Our team recently had a session with Sam Sloan from Vinidex, who walked through this in more detail. Rather than staying at a product level, the discussion centred on how jointing methods directly affect performance, compliance, and installation quality on site. Polyethylene, particularly PE100, is commonly used across

ARCADE NIGHT | A few weeks ago, we headed out for what we thought would be a couple of games and an easy night
That idea didn’t last long. Arcade machines were claimed quickly, scores started getting tracked, and suddenly everyone cared a lot more than expected. Things carried on into bowling, where it somehow got louder, more competitive, and a lot more entertaining. There were a few surprisingly good shots, a few very questionable techniques, and plenty of laughing in between. Then came laser tag, and the energy shifted instantly. No teams, no plan, just everyone running around like

WATERLOO | One of the last remaining large-scale renewal sites in Sydney’s inner-south is now progressing
At Young and Bourke Streets in Waterloo, Coronation Property is advancing a BTR precinct of more than 850 apartments across a 2.15-hectare site, approximately four kilometres from the CBD. Historically characterised by light industrial uses and fragmented warehouse lots, the precinct has gradually shifted over the past two decades toward residential and design-led development. Sites of this scale are now increasingly rare in inner-city Sydney. The proposal is structured as a

EDMONDSON PARK PUBLIC SCHOOL is among the first in NSW to achieve a 6 Star Green Star rating, setting a clear benchmark for sustainable education infrastructure.
The project delivers a contemporary learning environment with flexible teaching spaces, shared facilities, and outdoor areas. Goldfish & Bay was engaged during the construction phase to deliver hydraulic design and site support, ensuring the design intent was carried through into a compliant outcome on site. Our scope included detailed construction documentation (LOD300), RFIs, inspections and certification, supported by ongoing design development as site conditions evolved.

ONE TEAM. THREE CAUSES.
Last year, we took part in City2Surf as part of a broader industry effort. This year, we’re doing it differently. For City2Surf 2026, the Goldfish & Bay team is running to support three causes that impact people across Australia in very different ways. Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) Beyond Blue RSPCA NSW Most campaigns ask you to get behind one cause. The reality is, people connect to different things. So instead of choosing, we’ve backed all three. On 9 August

Hot water systems don’t usually drive early design decisions, but they probably should.
We had the STIEBEL ELTRON Australia team in with our electrical and hydraulic teams to run through electric hot water systems and how they’re being applied across current projects. The discussion focused on the shift away from centralised plant and how this carries through into design and coordination. Removing central plant and ring mains simplifies the building. Less plant space, shorter pipe runs and fewer coordination constraints across disciplines. It changes how service
