Forestry Tasmania’s Eagles Eyrie at Maydena has been recognised with an excellence award at the Master Builders Tasmania awards. Vos Construction & Joinery who constructed the Eagles Eyrie were awarded the ‘Excellence in New Construction $1 million - $2 million (commercial) Award’ for their work on the Eyrie.
The award recognises the quality of workmanship in construction of the breathtaking Eagles Eyrie building.
Forestry Tasmania’s General Manager Corporate Relations and Tourism Ken Jeffreys said the Eagles Eyrie was a spectacular building, built to take advantage of the breathtakingly wild natural environment atop Abbotts Peak.
“The architecturally designed Eagles Eyrie is a unique structure that has been built with a range of angled observation rooms and timber decking to reflect the dramatic landscape that it has been built on.
“The Eyrie fits neatly into the saddle at Abbotts Lookout with minimum intrusion on the skyline and provides stunning views over the Styx, Florentine and Tyenna forests.”
Mr Jeffreys said that construction of the building would have been no easy feat for Vos Construction and is a testament to the commitment of the workers who assisted with the building’s construction.
“The unique remote location and wild natural environment surrounding the site combined with limited access to the summit and wind ratings upwards of 200 kilometres per hour would have provided a challenge for any construction company.”
Tours to the award winning Eagles Eyrie are available year round and include a trip on the Railtrack Rider, a journey through the Styx Big Tree Reserve and fine wine and food prepared by iconic Tasmanian chef Waji.
