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.

The University of Melbourne Bio21 Stage 2C Advanced Microscopy Facility has started construction on site.

The $16 million development consists the construction of a new two storey mass timber laboratory building at the bioscience campus in Parkville.

Works also include preservation of the heritage listed market wall, refurbishment of the historic Veterinary Research Institute Building, a new link to the recently completed Nancy Millis building and major infrastructure upgrades to support the new facility.

The design constraints for cyro electron microscopes to be housed in the new facility are very strict in terms of permissible vibration allowances on the structure, and the building services requirements to maintain constant power and temperature control to the facility. 

This is the first project in Australia adopting such a unique construction technology.

Mitchell Brandtman are thrilled to be partnering with the University of Melbourne and BIO 21 Institute and the project team….Architectus, Irwinconsult, Umow Lai, Videre Group & Kane Constructions to deliver this flagship project

We are looking forward to sharing our knowledge at the Developers Masterclass in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in the coming weeks.

Mitchell Brandtman is assisting John Holland to deliver a state of the art project in the smartest possible way.

Stage 1 of Macquarie Square, a new commercial precinct on Waterloo Road in Sydney is, and will be a full digitally engineered project from Design Development through to Operation. BIM (Building Information Modeling) at its best!

Our 5D Cost Planning team have been leveraging the 3D design models by applying our unique 5D (cost) and 4D (time) data workflows to provide linked cost plans, visual trade packages and scope change assessments and are currently delivering the progress assessments by utilising our 5D+4D data and 3D laser point-cloud scanning to precisely quantify and value the physical work complete on site and track progress. Virtual cash flows are also being run to provide milestone insight into cost and project progress with the team at Solid Support.
