NSW Public Works were engaged by Property & Development NSW to undertake the procurement of the building contractor through a two phase procurement (expression of Interest following by a select tender) for the new Western Sydney Startup Hub officially opened in October 2022. We were also engaged in the role of Principal’s Authorised Person to administer the delivery of the construction project.

The works involved heritage conservation works across multiple buildings including slate re-roofing, sandstone restorations, structural repairs, chimney repairs and window repairs. The full refurbishment of a number of buildings into modern office space, meeting rooms, function spaces and grounds was undertaken as part of the heritage upgrade. The project construction value was approximately $18m and commenced on site in June 2021 and was completed in July 2022.

The Western Sydney Startup Hub will provide 1,500 square metres of affordable co-working space to startups, scaleups and small businesses as well as programs and events to support their growth, amazing amenities and a community of like-minded entrepreneurs to share their journey with.
