THE Department of Finance has selected the indigenous owned company, Barpa, to design and construct the John Gorton Campus Car Park in Parkes, following a competitive procurement process. It will cost $80.8 million.
Finance Minister Katy Gallagher said Barpa had delivered a range of construction projects across remote, regional, and urban areas in Australia and that this procurement outcome demonstrated the government’s strong commitment to supporting indigenous business.
“The John Gorton Campus Car Park is an enabling project to the development of the National Security Office Precinct Project,” she said.
“The multi-level John Gorton Campus Car Park will provide approximately 1100 car spaces and will also include a childcare centre and electric vehicle charging stations.”
Construction is expected to start mid year.
