    Since the 2018 meeting the sample environment team at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) has progressed the design and construction of the new superconducting split-coil magnet, a fast cooling closed cycle cryostat and a new type of closed cycle dilution refrigerator. The first of the two fast cooling cryostats (compact closed cycle dry cryostats, 1.5 K to 800 K) will arrive in early 2019, with a tested sample cool down of 30 minutes. The new magnet is in the final stages of design, including a sample well for our time-of-flight spectrometer PELICAN. The new magnet will have active magnetic shielding and an asymmetric coil design to allow experiments with polarised neutrons. The expected arrival for the magnet is mid-2019. The closed cycle dilution refrigerator will have high cooling power and a very large sample space allowing a new class of experiments with neutrons at ultra-low temperature, arriving in March 2019. Also presented is the development of carbon fibre sample probes to enable faster cooling and quicker sample changes.
