The John Gorton Building is a landmark Government building located in the heart of the Parliamentary Triangle in Canberra in the ACT. The project involved the demolition and reconstruction of a parking area incorporating WSUD principles, reconstruction of a service road and building entry forecourt as well as the creation of a new multi use public plaza. Additionally one third of the site is constrained by below ground office accomodation which required a replacement waterproof membrane. The Project impacted 3 Commonwealth Government Departments as Building owner, Tennant and open space manager requiring extensive stakeholder liaison and co-ordination.
