Parliament House

Project Plumbing & Maintenance are continuing with their ongoing works at the prestigious Victorian Parliament House project. Works on this project kicked off in June of 2020 and are expected to continue well into 2024. This involves substantial upgrades to the services infrastructure as well as adding two additional levels to the building above and construction of a basement tunnel network below. This project has thrown up many challenges due to the sheer age of the building. Construction first began on parliament house in 1855 with the first stage opening in 1856 meaning this structure has been standing for 168 years to date.

Ethan Minns is back from his holiday and back on the tools. He is coming in to replace Jordan Purcell with Site Managing the 342-348 Flinders Street project as Jordan heads off to America for 3-months to travel around with friends.

342-348 Flinders Street project will include new End-of-Trip Facilities as well as 3 new levels of tenancies above.

RICKY MORRIS | DIRECTOR KAELUN BROWN | DIRECTOR

Hello and welcome to another year from Pathway Plumbing Services (PPS), we hope you all had a great break over the Christmas holidays. We have hit the ground running and the team are all safely back on deck and recharged ready for the challenges ahead in 2023. After a labour of love I was able to get my old girl on the road and had an epic week travelling the coast of Victoria. It was not without its challenges when you’re driving a 50-year-old car and towing a caravan of the same vintage, but wegotplentyofthumbsupalong the trip and many of admirers when we ran out of petrol in the main street of Halls Gap on the trip home. The new 80 x 2 air conditioner with water reservoir workedwellonthe38-degreetrip home, 80 km/hr 2 windows down and the spray bottle was working overtime.

PPS has had a steady start to the new year and has seen a lot of work at the North East Link project. Most of the team are onsite working alongside the contractors running all the water line for construction water across the site. The project is in its early stages with eight sites starting at Watsonia and ending at Bulleen RoadnearEastlink.Wehavebeen busy with some services relocation and setting up site sheds and roofing the covered walkway. This is a long-term project and we have secured an additional one year contract which will allow for growth in the team and opportunities for both PPS and CDPG plumbers and apprentices to work together on thislargeinfrastructureproject.

Bendigo GovHub (Dja Dja Wurung Country) has been proving a challengeforourteamon-sitewith a big shout out to Mick Berry who has kept the job rolling amid some challengingcircumstances.

Fitzroy Sports Centre (Wiradjuri Country) has seen most of the below ground works now completed and the team lead by Beau Molenkamp having a good crack at it with their own challenges of a tight footprint and conflictingschedules
