Winner
The Enhanced Land Force project at the Army Base at Kapooka consists of 11 separate buildings, 10 of which feature a combination of bricks and blocks which were supplied by Boral and Austral.
Face bricks were laid to facades 11.5m high incorporating detailed corbelled sills and recessed feature banding.
The feature banding around the buildings is over 2km in length.
In excess of 500,000 bricks and blocks were laid by a team of up to 28 bricklayers.
These are impressive buildings and the brick and blockwork is of a very high standard.
