Open head-construction tender for a four-level cultural facility containing a library, museum, exhibition areas, café and flexible community spaces. Monitor the successful builder for downstream architectural joinery procurement.

Opportunity summary

The fit-out-intensive facility presents a credible future package for a medium-large architectural joiner after appointment of the head contractor.

Stage
Open head-construction tender · Upcoming package
Cabinetry scope
Likely library shelving, service counters, café cabinetry, museum display joinery, storage and built-in furniture; package scope is unconfirmed.
What is confirmed
  • City of Melville lists RFT262713 as currently advertised.
  • The current tender portal lists closure at 2:00pm AWST on 9 September 2026.
  • The facility is planned across four levels and approximately 5,080 square metres.
  • Planned uses include a library, museum, exhibition space, café, meeting, performance and creative spaces.
  • The published project budget is $60 million.
  • Tender documents are obtainable through the registered TenderLink portal.
JOINA assessment
  • Multiple public-facing and specialised spaces are likely to require substantial fixed joinery.
  • Joinery would probably be procured by the successful head contractor rather than directly by the City.
  • The scale is better suited to a medium-large joiner or coordinated specialist subcontractor.

These are reasoned inferences, not statements from the issuing organisation.

Confirm before contacting
  • What fixed-joinery items appear in the registered drawings and schedules?
  • When will the head contractor be appointed?
  • Will joinery be one package or split into library, hospitality and exhibition scopes?
  • Is 9 September the operative deadline despite the original notice stating 3 September?
