This included a detailed analysis of council’s services and current depots to develop a proposal of short-term (5 years) and long-term (40 years) solutions to provide appropriate buildings and depots for its workforce and fleet.
It was imperative to include financial limitations and reductions to ensure cost-saving developments for both council services and the community.
The project involved assessing each building and depot for its utilisation and determining plant utilisation, establishing a long-term plan that would determine where people and plant would be located, the size of buildings / structure and their functions. Functional requirement briefs were developed for all new and retained buildings.
PDM prepared a report for the Townsville Port Authority Board summarising the status, background and justification of six major capital projects for the financial year 2008.
Role: Project Feasibility Business Case
Location: Port of Townsville

This report was commissioned to summarise the status and background of the major projects programmed for 2008 to be undertaken by the Townsville Port Authority for the Port of Townsville.
The report focussed on the justification of six major projects for the financial year 2008. There had previously been no financial analysis prepared for this justification, and the report PDM prepared was a high-level review of the port’s operational requirements based on a desktop review of the 2007 Master Plan and Business Cases of the Townsville Port Facility.
The report detailed purpose, benefits, current status and supporting data/actions, as well as identifying any financial risks associated with an operation of this volume.
PDM was requested to articulate the different project management delivery models for a major project, defining some of the risk associated with each model.
PDM’s strategic review covered the overall project to expand port capacity by dredging the channels wider and deeper, reclaiming land and building deeper, longer berthing.
Role: Strategic review
Location: Port of Townsville
Phase: Develop
Port of Townsville is the largest general cargo and supply port in Northern Australia. While it exports mainly mining and agriculture products, it is North Queensland’s main import destination for fuel, bitumen, mining supplies for the Northwest Mineral Province, Galilee and Bowen Basin.
The catchment for Port of Townsville includes Central, North, North-West and Far North Queensland. It supplies 700,000 people in this region with containerised consumer goods as well as motor vehicles.
Townsville Port is unable to accommodate increasingly larger vessels due to channel width limitations, resulting in freight for Northern Queensland having to utilise capital city ports and then road / rail transport between Brisbane and Townsville.
Over the past decade, larger container vessels (Panamax and Post Panamax) have entered the east coast of Australia and have had to bypass Townsville due to their size. Global shipping trend analysis demonstrates that increased vessel sizes will be utilised in Australia, meaning more vessels will avoid Townsville and utilise capital city ports.
The bypassing of Townsville by larger vessels also directly affects the cost of living for residents in the North as well as the cost of manufacturing and other costs to industries in North Queensland.
Disaster resilience and storage capabilities are an issue for the North. Without land reclamation and subsequent stages of the Port Expansion, Townsville will be vulnerable to supply chain failure in the event of natural disasters.
This project involved the strategic review of the overall project to expand port capacity by:
PDM reviewed the Parks Department’s new suite of contract documents, providing information to be incorporated into Council’s Legal Department documents.
Role: Contract Management
Location: Townsville
Phase: Develop
As part of the newly combined Council, Townsville City Council Combined Parks Division contracted PDM to review the new suite of contract documents which had recently been introduced to the Parks Department under the “fit for use” purpose.
A number of outcomes resulted from this review, which provided the Parks Department information to be incorporated into Council’s Legal Department documents, such that these could be streamlined; thus, better protecting Council when engaging small to medium contractors.
The review identified that Council needed to alter its policy in terms of public liability and professional indemnity to cater for the various types of contracts which range in price and scope to enable the small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to provide service to Council.
This document is now the standard template for all works within the Parks Department.
Following handover from the initial Project Manager, PDM provided project management, inspector and superintendent’s representative services to administer the entire project.
Role: Superintendent’s Representative and Inspectorial Services

Dust and sediment runoff control were key issues with an earthworks project of this scale.
The works involved the planning and development of a bulk earthworks project in excess of 30,000m³, inclusive of seepage drainage for the waste cell.

Role: Project Management
Location: Collinsville
Phase: Deliver
RSL Queensland engaged PDM to undertake an inspection and provide a report on the condition of the RSL Memorial Hall located in Collinsville, in central Queensland.
Due to the dilapidated condition of this building, PDM made the recommendation to the RSL that a Memorial Park be erected on the land, utilising the existing cenotaph at its heart as a point of reflection, and maintaining a link with the values of this close-knit community.
The planning phase determined that PDM initiate the groundwork and manage the Architectural Design Team, whilst maintaining full communication with RSL Queensland throughout every stage of the process.
It also required more detailed concept costs to enable a budget to be included in the business for capital expenditure whilst meeting the client’s expectations.
PDM provided program management for CTRC’s DRFA works, which involved assessing 3,850km of shire roads and reconstructing approximately 1,300km of road.
PDM provided the project management team to scope and manage the design and construction phases for the reconstruction of the Shute Harbour precinct.
Role: Project management
Location: Shute Harbour
Phase: Deliver
Shute Harbour was originally constructed in the early 1960s as an ideal location for a departure point to service local island and reef trips due to its central proximity to nearby tourist attractions. Further infrastructure improvements were completed in both the 1970s and again in the late 1990s / early 2000s.
PDM provided the project management team to scope, manage design, and construction phases for the reconstruction of the Shute Harbour precinct. The project objective was to re-establish the commercial functionality without restricting the ability to future-proof the requirements of the site.
The reconstruction of Shute Harbour includes a sea wall, carpark, fuel facilities, a harbour terminal building, six floating pontoons that create 3 finger pontoons.
