The project provides a single, integrated, around the clock command centre for the Australian Defence forces.
This operational headquarters located on 500 hectares of pastoral land for 750 military and civilian Defence staff required extensive civil and building works including complete sufficiency in water supply and treatment.
Leighton Contractors had to carry out earthworks for water supply, road construction, rail bridge road underpass, blackwater sewerage system, stormwater retention, water treatment for stormwater and dam water to potable water standard, building works for 750 staff with offices, catering and physical recreation, together with the most secure, and fully accredited top secret large scale Defence facility operating 24 hours/365 days per annum.
The project was completed on time and on budget within 18 months and within two years of entering into contract producing a 5 star environmentally sustainable building in a rural location.
