Projects – JMG

Bellerive Oval Sportslighting

In order for Bellerive Oval to retain its status as an international cricket venue, Cricket Tasmania was required to upgrade the facility to accommodate international standard night cricket matches. The ground had been previously redeveloped, with the assistance of JMG, to cater for the greater needs of spectators, players, and media.

Myer Fire

On the 22 September 2007, a fire broke out in the Myer store in the centre of the Hobart CBD, which eventually destroyed the complete Liverpool Street section of the building and, at one stage, threatened the rest of the CBD. JMG was called in during the fire to assess the structural stability of building elements ensuring the overall safety of fire crews.

Dover Jetty

Marine and Safety Tasmania funded the demolition and re-construction of parts of the public jetty at Dover. The jetty, which is very popular with local fishermen and tourists, has reached the end of its design life. JMG were engaged as engineering design consultants and project managers.

Four Mile Creek

JMG were engaged to prepare an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the construction of a house on a coastal allotment. The EMP was prepared for consideration in the Break O’Day Council development approval process as well as to directly guide management of works proposed to be undertaken on the site.

Droughty Point

JMG were engaged to prepare a submission for the Resource Planning and Development Commission hearings for the then Draft Clarence Planning Scheme. The submission provided a strategic framework for future development on Droughty Point, which is the largest land bank remaining of Hobart’s Eastern Shore.

Centrepoint Car Park

JMG were engaged to investigate the feasibility of expanding the capacity of a major inner city car park by constructing new decks on top of the existing facility. This project required substantial amounts of investigative work, leading our client, Hobart City Council, into making financial decisions based on engineering inputs.

University of Tasmania Cradle Coast Campus

In 2006 the University of Tasmania initiated a major upgrade of its Cradle Coast campus by expanding the existing facilities to include two new buildings. JMG were engaged to provide structural, civil, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical design services.

Lake Margaret Pipeline

The Lake Margaret Hydro-Electric Power Scheme was built between 1912 to 1914, and included a woodstave pipeline to connect the dam to the pressure penstock feeding the power station, which was used until 2006. Hazell Bros Group, teamed with JMG Engineers and Planners, won the D&C contract for the new woodstave pipeline,

St Michael’s Collegiate Middle School

The expansion of the St Michael’s Collegiate Middle School on their existing site required innovative architecture and engineering to produce a state of the art modern school facility. JMG provided Structural, Electrical, Data, Security, Fire detection, Hydraulic and Mechanical engineering services.

Single Hill development

JMG’s town planning and engineering services were engaged in 2006 to produce a subdivision proposal for Single Hill – a prominant landform adjacent to Seven Mile Beach. Services provided included a review of options for the site, development of a comprehensive masterplan and a detailed planning report for reviiew by the RPDC.

Nyrstar Zinc Smelter, 2005 & 2007

During 2005 & 2007 the Nyrstar Hobart Smelter conducted statutory maintenance on their fluid bed roasters (No. 5 & 6).
