Building Momentum in Ballarat

Reaching the highest point of a build is a defining moment. It marks the transition from structure to space, from plans on paper to something tangible. At Lyons Place, this milestone was recognised at the Topping Out Ceremony—a moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the dedication of everyone involved.

Caleb McGrath, our Ballarat Local Project Coordinator, took to the podium to speak about what this stage represents: the hard work of countless hands, the collaboration driving the project forward, and the future we’re shaping together.

We cracked open the Zero champagne and raised a glass—not just to progress but to the relationships we’re building along the way

Why Ballarat?

Ballarat is growing. With a strong local economy, a rising demand for well-designed spaces, and a deep historical and cultural fabric, it’s a city with an exciting future.

For us, it’s not just about delivering quality builds. It’s about embedding ourselves in the community—partnering with local trades, fostering long-term relationships, and contributing to projects that shape the city’s future. Lyons Place is just the start.

More Than Buildings

At Figurehead, we build with intent. Beyond the physical structures, our work is guided by principles that define how we operate:

• Winning with purpose – Setting high standards and delivering quality outcomes.
• Making an impact – Creating spaces that serve the community long-term.
• Being resourceful – Finding smarter, more sustainable solutions.
• Applying rigour – Maintaining attention to detail and execution.
• Fostering cohesion – Working together with a shared commitment to excellence.

These values are the foundation of every project we undertake. And behind them is a team driving progress forward—including the women leading on-site, shaping the industry, and bringing fresh perspectives to the built environment.

A Shared Future

Our commitment to Ballarat is just getting started. We’re here to grow, collaborate, and contribute to the city’s future.

To our team, our partners, and the wider community—thank you for being part of this.

Here’s to what’s next.
