BGC Construction has been awarded a $57.8 million contract for the new Perth Police Complex in WA.
The BGC contract is to build the facility at the corner of Roe, Fitzgerald and James streets in Northbridge.
Work is set to start next month, with the complex ready for use by late 2012.
The new 24-hour station will accommodate around 500 officers and staff and consist of the Perth Police Centre; a new Perth Watch House; a Magistrate’s Court; and the Central Metropolitan District Office.
The public entrances to the building will be off Fitzgerald Street, with access to a basement for police operational vehicles off James Street. Perth Watch House vehicles will enter the complex from Roe Street.
Forward works have already been carried out on the site, including demolition of existing buildings, the relocation of essential services, bore piling and removal of soil.
The 17,090 sqm, four-storey building was designed by architect Peter Hunt in association with Daryl Jackson Architects and Guymer Bailey Architects.
