Tagai State College

Hansen Yuncken commenced the $33 million Tagai State College project on Mer Island (the home of Eddie Mabo, also known as Murray Island), a logistical challenge that involved complex transportation pre-planning, barging all materials to site and intensive community engagement.

The project was an enormous success and showcased the Cairns team’s abilities as a remote work specialist, adept at working in complex cultural and political contexts.

The thing I’m most proud of is the real commitment to local employment on Mer and Saibai in the Torres Strait, particularly as some of those communities are quite disadvantaged.
