Project

Spencer Street Station Development

Spencer Street Station, in central Melbourne, plays a key role in linking regional and metropolitan rail services, as well as providing a CBD base for future rapid transit links to the city's international airport. The Victorian State Government called for expressions of interest to redevelop the station - with an estimated project cost in excess of $300 million.

ABN AMRO, Leighton Consulting and Daryl Jackson Architects invited SGS to help them shape a bid for the project. In association with Redacliff Urban Renewal, SGS was able to provide a 'Macro Urban Context' strategy which ensured that the consortium's proposals were fully integrated with State, metropolitan and local development policies. The 'Macro Urban Context' detailed how the Station could fulfil its potential as a 'Civic Destination', 'Transport Mecca', 'Catalyst for Regional Development' and an 'Integrating Link between Docklands and the CBD'.

SGS provided the 'headlines' for the consortium's bid and demonstrated to the tender evaluation panel that the consortium had a thorough understanding of the State's aspirations for the redeveloped station. SGS's work was a significant factor in Civicnexus winning the right to redevelop the station. Construction is now underway.
