The challenge

Lend Lease's $750M two-stage development—a 48,000sqm tower followed by a 32,000sqm tower—required sustained safety management across multiple years of CBD high-rise construction and fit-out.

The scale of office and retail space, extended timeline, and premium Collins Street location meant safety performance would be continuously scrutinized by stakeholders, tenants, and the public throughout both construction stages.

Maintaining consistent safety standards across multiple construction stages and years of activity required audit focus to evolve as the project transitioned from structure to façade to fit-out. The two-tower staging meant lessons learned from Stage 1 needed systematic capture and application to Stage 2.
