Outcome

Burwood Brickworks – Winner of Property Council Australia’s 2021 VIC State Development of the Year – the industry’s most prestigious award for state-wide projects. Earlier this year, Burwood Brickworks also achieved the Living Building Challenge® Petal Certification – the first retail development in the world to do so. Officially making it the world’s most sustainable shopping centre.

Rokon are proud to be a project partner in the development of Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre, helping Frasers Property Australia create solid foundations for the delivery of this project.

Rokon coordinated works around the commercial / retail builder and assisted with gaining access for other trades as required, our team were always aware of not only their own program time frames; but also of others. Facilitating a whole of project team environment to prevent any delays to the sustainable development. Brownfield works often present many design and construability issues. We worked closely with designers, authorities and our client to ensure the most cost effective and timely outcome were achieved at all times. Demonstrating a willingness to work to the best outcome for all, not just for Rokon.

The project team have enjoyed the diversity of this project and look forward to further work with Frasers Property Australia.
