Inspirational ideas when you’re building or renovating
Building or renovating your home is an exciting time and we believe we can add to your enthusiasm by showing you some projects that may give you new and creative ideas for your own build. For example, check out a recently completed renovation by David Barbour - Co-Creator and Executive Producer of Channel 9's 'The Block'. David added a second storey onto his century-old home in Manly on Sydney’s northern beaches and as the property is located less than 250m from the ocean, materials had to be carefully selected. A self-confessed serial renovator himself, Mr Barbour was after a "modern beach feel" for the home and selected COLORBOND® Ultra steel in the colour Windspray® to complement the bluey-green exterior colour.

Saving injured Koalas on Kangaroo Island
In the wake of the devastating bushfires on Kangaroo Island earlier this year, Metroll South Australia generously supplied all the COLORBOND® steel roofing and fencing needed to rebuild the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park Koala Hospital and Koala enclosures after the original hospital was destroyed in the fires. Along with several other volunteers, ex-The Block stars Lysandra, Kerrie, Spence, El'ise and Matt along with Foreman Keith Schleiger spent a week re-building a new koala hospital. It was a mighty effort from everyone involved with some volunteers working onsite until 3am to get the job finished! Thanks again to Metroll SA and all our wonderful volunteers.

National Architecture Award for students
Every two years, the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) presents a student with a special honour. At the National Architecture Awards last year, the Glenn Murcutt Student Prize, sponsored by BlueScope, was presented to Sobi Slingsby of Griffith University for her project on Lady Elliot Island. Sobi’s scheme is a beautifully considered architectural response to the anticipated impact of climate change and sea-level rise on a coral cay at the southernmost tip of the Great Barrier Reef.

A fence that adds privacy to your home and keeps your kids and pets safely inside
Fencing is no longer just about marking boundaries. When correctly installed, fences made from COLORBOND® steel have smooth surfaces and close-fitting panels without any gaps, visible footholds or loose palings. Your home is kept more private and secure and you can be more confident that your kids and pets are where they should be – safely within the boundary of your backyard fence. Tested in association with the Bushfire CRC and CSIRO, COLORBOND® steel performed the best under all exposure conditions tested1.

Choose a frame with the inner strength of TRUECORE® steel
The key to a beautifully finished home is the way it starts… so says Tom Williams in a video he made for BlueScope. TRUECORE® steel is the product we recommend you use as the frame for your new home… and for many reasons. Apart from its inner strength and durability, a frame made from TRUECORE® steel is straight and precise and won’t twist or warp over time. It’s also 100% resistant to termites and borers and is ideal if you happen to live in an area prone to bushfires as it won’t catch fire.
