DIGGERS REST MEDICAL CENTRE

1 Farm Rd Diggers Rest - 870m2

Completed December 2017

New building - 15 consulting rooms and infrastructure for Primary Care, Allied Health, Dental and Pharmacy

A 2000 m2 site, marked for Medical Centre, was allotted in this new residential subdivision on a semi-rural area on Melbourne’s northern growth corridor. We were commissioned and commenced design at a moment when site conditions were still undertermined.  The early start was aimed at reducing our client’s holding costs and has required us to future-proof for a fluctuating brief and evolving site conditions. Good relationships and communication with council, consultants and the developer were critical ingredients for minimising obstruction.

Sub-soil conditions and building budget were giant hurdles, which our experience with this architype, together with a great client and builder would help overcome.
