Addressing the issues

We effectively managed key communication and approval processes, and established a strong and comprehensive delivery framework. This ensured we kept stakeholders progressively informed and expectations managed throughout the project. 

This proactive approach meant we could effectively address the main challenges of the project, which were:

  • coordination with local, state and planning authorities to achieve prompt approvals
  • design integration to ensure the facility respected the local surrounds
  • tendering and procurement of consultants and contractors
  • management of the construction delivery, and
  • review and reporting of project financial outcomes.
