DST Fishermans Bend Redevelopment

The Fishermans Bend Redevelopment project is revamping a Port Melbourne research facility used by Defence scientists. This initiative aims to upgrade the facility’s services, enhance security, and improve workspaces to support Defence challenges now and in the future.

WT was brought on board through a Design Services Subcontract (DSSC) to oversee cost planning, quantity surveying, and cost management services. This comprehensive support extended from the initial 5% Masterplan phase right through to the project’s completion, including assistance with departmental and government approvals.

During the project’s public hearing phase, WT quickly stepped up to address queries from the parliamentary standing committee on public works relating to pedestrian access and alternatives to the natural gas infrastructure.

WT’s prompt and effective responses played a crucial role in meeting the committee’s requirements, paving the way for a smoother and faster project progression.
