SINGLE LEAP (Living Environment and Accommodation Precinct) was a Defence project to bring live-in accommodation for single members of the Australian Defence Force, into line with community standards. Phase 1 involved over 100 individual buildings comprising 1550 units of accommodation across three sites including: Holsworthy (NSW), Amberley (QLD), and Enoggera (QLD). The accommodation generally consists of three storey buildings, with ground floor car parking and storage, accommodation units, and laundries on Levels 1 and 2. The project also included recreation buildings and administration buildings for the general use of the Defence community.
Robert Bird Group’s innovative structural and civil design and construction methodology concept was a critical factor in Plenary Living’s successful bid for this PPP project with Defence.
