Mitchell Brandtman‘s Victorian team members Don Leelarathne and Sophie Ly, are thrilled to be partnering with the 24 hour Victoria Police and the project team Vincent Chrisp Architects, RPS Group, Umow Lai, WALLBRIDGE GILBERT AZTEC & Nicholson Constructions to deliver this Fantastic project.
The new station is government-funded to replace the current Altona North Police Station on Cooper Avenue.
Plans for the new station show 59 on-site car spaces, one bay for a booze bus and three spots for stolen vehicles.
A report prepared for Victoria Police says the new station is aimed at ensuring “a stronger police presence in the Hobsons Bay area”.
“Should a significant event occur in the municipality of Hobsons Bay or immediate area, the new police station has also been designed to accommodate a higher level of serving members to ensure that the community is served appropriately,” the report states.
The new station was expected to be operational in 2020.
