The Social Quarter is Chadstone Shopping Centre’s new dining and entertainment precinct and “All-seasons playground”. It is the first development in Australia to achieve a Green Star Designed assessment using the new Green Star Buildings tool and is poised to receive a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating. The project incorporates innovative features such as a 199KW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system and a naturally ventilated common area and winter garden with a biophilic design to enhance the customer experience.
As part of this transformative project, the client sought to create a vibrant and inviting space within the new Social Quarter. With sustainability, community liveability and customer experience as primary objectives, they needed an environmentally responsible solution that could efficiently regulate airflow, ensure optimal comfort, and enhance safety measures within the premises.
To address the client’s needs, Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows were selected for installation in the common area to complement the aesthetic vision while delivering practical benefits. The motor-controlled louvres, seamlessly integrate with the Building Management System (BMS), to allow for precise airflow adjustments on an elevation-by-elevation basis. This feature enables facility managers to tailor ventilation levels to meet specific needs at different times of the day and in different weather conditions. Additionally, the louvres are also equipped to respond to a general fire alarm signal by automatically closing upon activation, enhancing the overall safety of the premises.
The decision to use Safetyline Jalousie louvres for the Social Quarter at Chadstone Shopping Centre offered numerous benefits. From the early design stage, the louvres could be customised to meet challenging design requirements, ensuring seamless integration into the architectural vision of the project. Supplied as complete prefabricated and glazed units, they streamlined the installation process, reducing both time and cost while minimizing construction waste.
The ongoing benefits for the client, and visitors of the social quarter, are the dual purposes the Safetyline Jalousie louvres serve in controlling natural ventilation for occupant comfort and indoor air quality control, while also integrating seamlessly with the fire alarm system to enhance safety in the event of a fire.
Their motorized operation, coupled with their ability to respond to environmental and safety triggers, makes them a versatile and reliable ventilation solution for modern commercial spaces.

As the most recent addition to the Safetyline Jalousie family, Ali is still coming to terms with the fact that a typical telephone conversation will often be answered with “You’re calling from Safety what”? followed by having to sound out and spell the name “ja-lou-sie” (it happens to us all). Born in Lebanon, Ali has moved around a lot over the years, living in Cyprus, Sydney for most of his Schooling, as well as China and Hong Kong. He currently resides in Melbourne where he spends a lot of time in his garden or doing some sort of work around the house. (Not too dissimilar to many other Melburnians following the onset of Covid). With a very obvious cultured background, Ali is warm and talkative and he’ll get you talking too.
Adam is our strategist and big ideas generator whose somewhat reserved nature could have some mistake him as a bit of an introvert. But that’s only until this quiet thinker is given a whiteboard and a marker – and then there’s no stopping the dialogue! 7 Years in at Safetyline Jalousie, Adam is continually expanding on his knowledge of the construction industry and is incredibly driven in his pursuit to help create better buildings via the use of better products. When Adam’s not on his quest to improve Australia’s built environment he’s spending most weekends escorting one of his 4 young kids to birthday parties, sometimes multiple parties. He has some stealth survival tips for other parents currently in the same predicament.
Michael has become recognised at Safetyline Jalousie for his continually changing hairstyles (facial hair included). Buzz cut, undercut, dreadlocks, even a mullet. We’ve see it all. His current man bun could even be gone before we finish this sentence. Always up for a laugh, friends and colleagues love a chat with Michael, and his easy-going and approachable nature has earned him the respect of all staff. In fact, he even has a cohort of followers on the factory floor sporting his same hairstyles. Outside of work Michael has recently turned his attention to mountain bike riding. His very first ride ended with a pretty serious accident resulting in a deep puncture wound to his leg– it’s been a sore topic for his leg and his ego.
Mandy has been with Safetyline jalousie since day one so would technically be considered a geriatric in “Jalousie years”. Whilst her role has changed and evolved over her time with the business, one thing that hasn’t is the happy and fun, team culture that she says “continues to make each day at work a joy”. As a mum of two little ones, Mandy thrives on new challenges and a little bit of chaos. Although, as a self-proclaimed clean freak, she ensures that all forms of chaos are kept in a very neat and tidy manner. We’ve also observed that Mandy appears to have an inherent fear of colour and will almost only ever be seen in black or white (or sometimes grey if she is being really out there).
As a busy mother of 4, Lisa is highly skilled in organising, delegating, and troubleshooting – the proficiencies which she also demonstrates in her daily management of the Safetyline Jalousie office. Lisa tells us that she lives by the saying “What doesn’t break you makes you stronger”. (No doubt she’s had to use this little piece or personal encouragement from time to time to deal with our infinite requests)! Always on the go, Lisa has a very active lifestyle and starts every day with a walk to the beach with her husband and two dogs. Of an evening she still has the energy to spare for star jumps and squats in her makeshift gym/ (our office) before heading home to her other full-time job as “mum”.
