Willagee
Client: Department of Housing Cost: $8m Role: Project Manager Contractor: Multiple Proven Project Management successfully project managed the Department of Housing’s significant Willagee New Living Project. This role included the management of site evaluation, earthworks programme, negotiation of outcomes with existing Homeswest tenants, the Client and the Local Authority to achieve redevelopment of the locality.
This major urban renewal project was a staged development occurring over a decade. Existing homes on large lots were demolished and the land re-subdivided to increase densities and facilitate new home construction. The scope of the project required the management of demolition, significant retaining wall construction across the locality, management of steep topography, earthworks, subdivision works and public open space construction, all adjacent to existing housing. Significant community and stakeholder liaison was required in addition to project team coordination.
The Willagee New Living Project reinvigorated the Willagee locality and was completed successfully with the final sales revenue being significantly higher than the Client’s expectations. This was a reflection of the holistic approach that was taken towards the project’s management

Olive Street Residential / Mahomet's Flats
Olive Street Residential
Mahomet's Flats
Client: City of Greater Geraldton Cost: $6 million Role: Design and Project Management Contractor: City of Greater Geraldton Proven Projects identified, soon after our appointment as project managers, a number of key risks affecting timing and costs on the project. We prepared a suitable risk assessment report highlighting construction management issues, environmental issues and co-ordination issues likely to impact the project. Proven Projects then developed strategies and implemented those strategies to mitigate the time and cost risk factors identified.
It was also important, early on in the project, to identify and understand how the Olive Street project fitted with other projects the City was undertaking that were both physically and financially connected to the subdivision project. The project plan was then developed in conjunction with the City’s Stormwater Harvesting Campaign which set the critical path for the Olive Street Residential Project.
Proven Project Management identified prior to the commencement of detailed designs, modifications to the plan of subdivision to help improve the project economics and design outcomes for the subdivision.
Proven Projects undertook a detailed feasibility analysis of the project and presented the findings to the City’s Executive Management Team. The feasibility analysis included the application of various sensitivity models which enabled the City to understand that further environmental investigative work was required to better understand the costs of construction.
One of the key design responses for the project is the alternate stormwater management system. This presented a challenging aspect given the need to coordinate with a federally funded Stormwater Harvesting Campaign that was being designed by the City for a wider locality. The co-ordination of the civil engineering drawings with the City’s Stormwater Harvesting Campaign was achieved as required by the Client.

Carter Lane Precinct / Subiaco
Carter Lane Precinct
Subiaco
Client: City of Subiaco Cost: $6m Role: Design Management and Project Manager Contractor: Curnow 11 residential lots, two mixed-use sites and public open space on a 1.2 ha site.
Given the site’s key location abutting existing areas of residential within the Subi Centro area and strong community objection to the China White project, the integration of the proposed development within the established community and streetscape was an early consideration in the design process. Extensive community and stakeholder engagement was undertaken in 2012 to inform schematic designs which investigated setbacks, frontages to an existing greenway public open space, building bulk, car parking and overall building design constraints and opportunities. Concept planning also took into account the topography of the site, landscaping and public open space opportunities, mixed use development and ground floor activation.
The design response underwent several iterations as a result of working with community input, the City’s development objectives and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authoritiy (MRA) vision for the site.
Demolition and site preparation works are complete. Proven Project Management successfully worked with the appointed demolition contractor to develop a suitable method of safely handling and removing asbestos cladding from the building.
Full civil subdivision is complete and titles issued.
