National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is almost here!
From May 27th to June 3rd, Australians will come together to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements. This year’s theme, “Be a Voice for Generations,” encourages all of us to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways, wherever we live, work, and socialise.
 
At Tango Projects, we are passionate about making a difference, and we’re excited to support the “Remote Op-Shop Project,” an initiative that helps support independent, locally-owned op shops in Aboriginal communities throughout remote Australia (WA & NT). The funds from these op shops go towards community projects that enhance the health and well-being of the community. To support this amazing initiative, we’ll have donation boxes set up in our Melbourne and Brisbane offices. Our team will bring any pre-loved items of clothing, hats, and footwear, and we’ll send them directly to the Remote Op-Shop Project. Let’s make a difference together!

We are thrilled to announce the completion of Level 4, 637 Flinders Street in Melbourne.
Tango Projects, as superintendent, successfully delivered a stunning fit-out spanning 3500m2. The talented designers have done an incredible job in maximizing natural light and creating a professional and calming environment for all new tenants to enjoy. We couldn’t have achieved this without the exceptional work from all of those involved but in particular McCormack and Studio 103.
Of course, special mention to Artifex Property Group for having the foresight and ambition to challenge and create better working spaces.  Thank you for your contribution to the successful completion of this project.

We had a great couple of days away at our annual Phillip Island Conference.
A huge highlight was our Leading Teams Australia session facilitated by Ellie Pietsch. We have some big goals this year and feel stronger than ever to achieve these as a team. At Tango, we invest in our people and culture and know it is critical to our success.

It wouldn’t be a Tango experience without having some fun too.
In amongst our learnings, we swam in the ocean, played golf, went sea kayaking and had some great times around the campfire.
Tango do it differently!

Another successful early learning centre completed by Tango Projects.

Developing and building modern childcare centres for the next generation is complex. This centre offers a holistic education program, fostering mindfulness, social and emotional wellbeing in little people aged 6 weeks to school age.

From design to completion, the project duration was 19 months.

Despite the challenges associated with unprecedented rainfall, “The Eden Academy” located in Albury, was completed in October 2022. We proudly note that subsequent licensing by the Department, was achieved with no building related issues. A good news story!

In 2023, we are proud to launch our new ‘Wellness’ initiative.

We have created a Tango calendar to keep our team inspired, motivated and fresh throughout the year.

Persistent hard work can be tiring. With this in mind, our wellness initiative provides time and space for our team to focus on their health and wellbeing.

We were excited to attend the community launch of the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay, QLD over the weekend.

Jointly funded by the State and Federal Governments, Harrup Park and the Mackay Cricket Club, the GBRA is a community sports and broadcasting venue, boasting some of the best regional cricket and AFL – Australian Football League facilities in Australia.

Tango has led the project since the masterplan stage, ensuring the elite sports and broadcasting requirements were delivered successfully, whilst also driving a focus on community engagement and involvement.

Further to our role as Project Manager, we are proud to have implemented a scheme allowing for consultants and contractors on the project to purchase mature trees for planting around the venue. With the goal of providing enhanced shade for visitors and enabling those involved in the project to leave their mark and obtain some recognition of their hard work throughout the long and complex project design and construction.

We were extremely proud to lead the project to a successful delivery with Cox ArchitecturePayntersHarrup Park and Urbis

With the footy season ramping up, and only a torpedo punt from the epicenter (MCG), we’re proud to say Cobild have completed the bulk of excavation works. We are always fascinated by each dig and the skill required to complete the works neatly and safely.
Now, bring on the concrete and the footy season!

At Tango, one of our core values is being Socially Conscious.

We do this by supporting several meaningful charities.
We recently teamed up with Launch Housing to donate gifts for their Annual Christmas Toy Drive.
We were pleased to contribute over 50 toys to the effort this year! These gifts will go towards providing 390 children from a Dandenong Housing Project with a brighter Christmas.

On the back of the federal budget, issued 25th October 2022, we are invigorated to hear that there is a continued focus on tackling the enormous issue of homelessness and affordable living.

Tango has had great success in assisting clients with new projects in this space. Our Victorian and Queensland directors, Ed Waters and Tony Mitchell recently attended the Social and Affordable Housing Seminar where there was much discussion around the huge pipeline of future construction and support requirements.

These images feature the Launch Housing ‘Viv’s Place’ which has been shortlisted for the UDIA Victoria 2022 Award for excellence!

At Tango Projects, we are committed to developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and are excited to have now commenced the journey.
We are formalising our commitment to reconciliation as an integral part of the way we operate, manage and implement our projects, and strive for continuous improvement to turn our good intentions into action.

Our QLD Tango Team were very excited to attend the official Sod turning of the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay Queensland recently.

This year, given the current world we live in, we need to make time in our DAILY routines to check in with our friends, family, colleagues and loved ones to ask ‘are you REALLY ok?’

Our team at Tango decided to run a ‘Walk & Talk’ virtual team meeting in recognition of R U OK?Day …….. Making sure our team members are OK, taking time away from the screen, getting outdoors, fresh air, vitamin D, endorphins and breaking the routine.

Are they really OK? Ask them today. Your conversation could change a life.

Today is R U OK?Day

As part of the shift in the way we operate, TANGO has created THE HUB! As part of our drive to become a fitter and healthier organisation, each staff member will lead a month of activities targeted at making sure we are all leaders and can motivate others, but importantly whilst having some fun.

Who knows what Callum has planned for May, but Ed’s Walk Club for April was a hit. Many steps were counted and world records set, but worst shorts definitely went to Ed. And we were reminded regularly by Ed…”What happens in Walk Club, STAYS in Walk Club!”

The HUB

Our client, Launch Housing created a great initiative to help understand what it’s like to be homeless, importantly educating us as to why most people might be homeless – cutting through the negative stigmatism and create an acute awareness in our community to help us work through this problem.

It wasn’t an easy challenge and one which was very confronting. Speclial mentions to Mel and Michael who were hard core in their approach, furthermore a great impact statement of Mel’s can be seen here…

On top of the awareness and the experience, TANGO as a group managed to raise over $5,000 with the funds going directly to support those doing it tough on the streets. It’s our duty to find more empathy in this space, support the homeless better and find new ways of helping restore their lives.

TANGO is now Carbon Neutral. Whilst this is a proud moment, the work is certainly not done, as we are targeting to reduce our consumption significantly year upon year, but also become carbon positive by planting trees.

Being Carbon Neutral directly feeds into one of our Values – Environmentally sustainable yet not impractical. Now to influence others!

Carbon Neutral…

Was held in March and was another success. The 2 days was spent honing in on our EQ skills with facilitator Derek (AIM) and the Executive team presenting their outlook and focus for 2021 and beyond.

Our Directors then congratulated the team on their response to our team focus on RESILIENCE during 2020 and remembered key learnings. From here they presented the TANGO road map, adapted the culture, health and wellbeing for post COVID operations.

Big thanks to all round weapon Lisa for organising such a successful couple of days and small shout out to local boy Barclay, who won the Grand Prix Go Carting on the Phillip Island Track…And I think a shout out to Mel for winning the best shot gun shot????
