Hynebeam By Hyne Timber makes a feature at Hatton Vale Cathedral

Hatton Vale Cathedral is the headquarters of the Southern District of the Apostolic Church of Queensland, and has occupied the site for more than 120 years. The cathedral was dedicated in 1950 and has been rebuilt to provide an additional 1,105 seats.

The patina-copper-clad walls of the two congregation spaces are supported by 74
6.5-metre-long select-grade Forest Red 21 curved Hynebeams, each with a 9 metre radius. The vertical ribbing framework, visible in the lower sections of the church as exposed battens, is constructed from select Forest Red Hynefloor. According to architect Mark Kaddatz, “all Hyne Timber products used provided the required results within cost allowances".
