Project Overview

Spark Roofing & Guttering completed a major commercial roofing project in Broadmeadow, Newcastle at the Hunter School of Performing Arts (HSPA). The school required a new covered walkway to provide safe, weather-protected access for students and staff moving between buildings across the busy campus.

The brief called for a durable and low-maintenance roofing solution suitable for high student traffic, Newcastle’s heavy rain events and strong summer heat. The structure needed to be completed safely within a school environment while meeting strict commercial roofing standards and timelines.

Our Solution

Our team designed and installed a new 300 m² insulated walkway roof using BONDOR SolarSpan® 75 mm roof panels, a premium solution widely used in commercial roofing Newcastle projects for schools, factories and industrial buildings.

Key features included:

• High-performance SolarSpan insulated roof panels
• Excellent thermal insulation for comfort in summer and winter
• Durable steel construction for long-term performance
• Weather-tight installation with custom flashings
• Safe installation within an active school environment

SolarSpan panels were chosen for their strength, energy efficiency and low maintenance requirements—ideal for commercial buildings across Broadmeadow, Hamilton, Merewether, Kotara and wider Newcastle.

Results

The finished walkway provides safe, sheltered access across the campus while improving comfort and reducing heat transfer. The clean architectural finish complements the school’s buildings and delivers a long-lasting commercial roofing solution in Newcastle.
