Construction of the Treloar E Large Technology Objects Store Project

The Project includes the construction of the Treloar E Large Technology Objects Store Project (the Project) to accommodate the planned acquisition of Large Technology Objects (LTOs).

LTO’s are primarily military aircraft and large military equipment such as battle tanks and troop movement vehicles. This is the first stage of implementing the Mitchell Precinct Development Plan following approval by the Australian War Memorial Council in 2012.

The address of the proposed Project site is 12 Callan Street, Mitchell, Australian Capital Territory.

The Project will relieve the backlog of collections storage requirement and provide future storage in a highly efficient single level facility. The initial concept for the Treloar E storage allows for the site to be developed to maximise its potential as a storage facility for large items.

The objectives established by the Australian War Memorial are:

a. Complete the Project within the allocated capital budget;

b. Design and construct a facility which minimises the whole of life costs

c. Design and construct a facility that maximises the inter-connection with the other Treloar facilities in compliance with the Mitchell Precinct Development Plan;

d. Maximise the collections storage area for the amount of land developed;

e. Complete the Project by 31 December 2018; and

f. Complete the construction without any lost time injuries.
