Victoria Police Capital Works Program

Managing the extensive and diverse property portfolio of Victoria Police requires a sophisticated balance of heritage preservation and modern operational renewal. Working alongside specialist architects, our team was engaged to conduct comprehensive building services audits and condition assessments for 17 critical sites across various Melbourne regions. This program focused on ensuring that aging infrastructure is maintained effectively, allowing officers to continue their vital work of keeping Victorians safe in high-functioning environments. A significant portion of the engagement involved navigating complex heritage overlays at landmark sites such as the Collingwood and Fitzroy police stations.

Our engineers performed meticulous site inspections and studied decades of as-built documentation to understand the unique constraints of these historical structures. The resulting condition assessment reports provided Victoria Police with a clear, data-driven roadmap for the lifecycle of their mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic services. By delivering detailed capital works cost estimates, we empowered the client to make informed decisions on when and how to replace major engineering plant and infrastructure. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of operational downtime and ensures that public funds are directed toward the most critical renewal needs. Our expertise in heritage-sensitive engineering allowed us to recommend modern service upgrades that respect the architectural integrity of Melbourne’s oldest stations.

These assessments serve as the foundational blueprint for a safer, more resilient network of police facilities across the state. Through this rigorous technical evaluation, we have helped Victoria Police transition from reactive maintenance to a strategic, long-term asset management model. The successful delivery of these reports ensures that the frontline infrastructure remains as reliable as the officers who serve within it.
