The winners by state:
Victoria
Melbourne Airport Gate B25 Redevelopment
Category: Small Projects
Melbourne Airport connects Victoria to the world, and as Australia’s busiest airport, the need to continue to grow and innovate is essential to maintain capacity and enhance the traveller experience.
The redevelopment of Terminal 1’s Gate B25 entailed working around and supporting a live airport environment whilst undertaking an extension of the existing structure, services and airfield facilities to deliver a new International Air Transport Association (IATA) Compliant Code C Gate Lounge and Airbridge.
The project was delivered on time and within the project budget, with minimal operational disruptions and will continue to improve airport operations and the passenger experience in Terminal 1.
Queensland
Seqwater Capital Delivery Transformation Programme Project and Portfolio Management system
Category: Professional Services Projects
Seqwater delivers safe, secure and cost-effective bulk water supply for over three million South East Queenslanders. Responding to an increasing capital delivery programme, Seqwater established an enterprise level portfolio office as part of its Capital Delivery Transformation Programme to improve project and programme delivery and portfolio management.
Seqwater appointed Turner & Townsend to manage the implementation of Planisware Enterprise, to transform end-to-end project management, process governance and programme-level reporting. This is the first-of-its-kind in Australia's infrastructure sector that improved operational outcomes and set a new standard in water infrastructure management.
Northern Territory
Wadeye Pool Redevelopment
Category: Regional Projects
The Wadeye Community Pool has been a central part of the Wadeye community for 20 years, providing essential social and health benefits to its users. Recognising the importance of the pool, the West Daly Regional Council took a proactive approach to refurbish and revitalise the facility to provide a safe and healthy environment for the Wadeye community to swim, play and exercise.
Turner & Townsend were engaged to provide specialist project management services due to the complexity of the project, delivery time sensitivities and the project’s high-profile nature. The refurbishment has ensured the pool remains an asset to the community for decades to come.
