From Sunbury Road tree to boardroom table

A piece of history arrived at the Winslow Infrastructure Port Melbourne office this month, with the delivery of a new boardroom table built from wood reclaimed from the Sunbury Road Upgrade Project (SRUP).

The wood was milled on the project site last year, in keeping with Winslow’s Community Pillar (investing in the communities we work in) and Environment pillar (minimising waste and reusing or recycling resources).

The timber was gifted to the Hume Men’s Shed, whose members built furniture to generate funds for their workshop, and timber was also given to Sunbury Secondary College’s, whose students crafted a coffee table and other furniture for the school’s front office.

Winslow’s bespoke boardroom table, designed and crafted by the Men’s Shed, is now a feature at WI’s head office where employees and visitors comment on its fine workmanship and the journey of the recycled wood used.
