Featured Project: Victoria Police Headquarters

The Project

This 39-storey development is being purpose-built to house the Victoria Police headquarters. The commercial tower will span 65,000m2, with an efficient side core design that offers large open floor plates of 2,000m2 . The building is set to be a cutting-edge development for civic purposes, intended to improve efficiency for law enforcement operations in Victoria. It also meets a high level of environmental standards, having a NABERS Energy and Water rating of 4.5 and a Green Star Office Design rating of 5.

The Players

Tier One building company Probuild won the tender to build the new police centre, and were chosen for their technical capabilities and large-scale resource capacity. Typically contracted for retail and residential projects, the police headquarters will be part of Probuild’s move towards large-scale commercial and civic developments. Probuild will partner with Cbus Property and Australia Post to deliver the civic development development.

The Location

The new police headquarters is going up within Melbourne’s crime fighting district of Spencer Street. The Victoria Police headquarters at 311 Spencer Street will sit beside the City West Police Complex at 313 Spencer Street, another development recently completed by Cbus Property.

The Timeline

Construction for the development began in mid-May 2017, with works expected to continue through to the end of 2019.
