As part of the Enhanced Land Force Phase 2B initiative, this major expansion of Gallipoli Barracks supported a personnel increase from 3,000 to 4,500 through the delivery of 165 new and refurbished buildings.
The project included working accommodation for key units such as 8/9RAR, 2 CER, and 7 CSSB, along with headquarters facilities, a training area, a new sports centre and indoor pool, a 400-seat auditorium, and upgraded living-in accommodation.
A modular ‘kit of parts’ approach to cladding, structure, and services ensured consistency, cost-efficiency, and future adaptability. Careful staging and decanting strategies minimised disruption to live operations, enabling seamless integration within one of Australia’s most active military bases.
