It’s a sign of our nation’s growing ties with its northerly neighbour: Australia’s largest ever diplomatic mission overseas is to be built in Indonesia.
When completed, the new Australian Embassy in Jakarta will incorporate a chancery, a head of mission residence, accommodation and recreational facilities as well as support services, all set over four hectares.
Recently, Thinc was awarded the role of project manager for the landmark complex. Our team will manage delivery through the construction, commissioning and handover period and provide post-contract services to the Embassy when it occupies the new facility.
The role was awarded by the Overseas Property Office in the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT). It strengthens our close relationship with DFAT, which dates back to 2001 and includes other projects in Jakarta, Beijing, Amman and Abu Dhabi.
“I’m looking forward to working with DFAT in helping to deliver this truly iconic project, designed by leading Melbourne-based architects Denton Corker Marshall,” said Sumit Mukherjee, a senior consultant with Thinc.
“We’re all very proud to be given this exciting commission.”
