Double victory for Australia at national Project Management Achievement Awards
Following Turner & Townsend's state-level success at the Project Management Achievement Awards, the Australian team has achieved two wins at the national Project Management Achievement Awards.
The Project Management Achievement Awards (PMAAs) are hosted by the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM), with state and national events to recognise, honour and promote outstanding achievements in programme and project leadership across Australia.
The winning projects
With seven of Turner & Townsend's award submissions shortlisted by the judges for the national awards, the winning projects were:
EastCo Development Project (Department of Transport & Planning Building)
Category: Construction/ Engineering
The now multiple-award winning EastCo Development is an A-Grade commercial tower accommodating 1,000 staff in Ringwood, Melbourne. Turner & Townsend facilitated the delivery of the 11-storey building as project managers of the development on behalf of Queensland Investment Corporation and Department of Transport and Planning.
This project has achieved a 5-star Greenstar Self Assessed rating and a 6-star ‘World Leadership’ Greenstar rating for the fit-out. The development is currently on track to achieving a 5-star NABERS energy and 4-star NABERS water target rating.
Heron Island Seawater Intake Project

The University of Queensland (UQ) operates the UQ Heron Island Research Station, a state-of-the-art marine science research facility for ongoing research and operations.
UQ appointed Turner & Townsend as project managers to facilitate the replacement of the seawater intake pipe and deliver a robust and sustainable product with minimal disruption to research operations, the local environment and island tourism.
Darren Munton, Managing Director, ANZ, said:
Having our project teams recognised by the Australian Institute of Project Management with two National awards shows our commitment to service excellence and building trusting, collaborative client relationships.
“The team previously won seven Chapter awards at state level, so I am proud of both our people and the projects delivered.”
