SWTAFE - Hamilton Campus Refurbishment Project – Fire Services Upgrade

Summary and scope

SWTAFE - Hamilton Campus Refurbishment Project – Fire Services UpgradeIn May 2025, the Victorian Government committed to funding the refurbishment of the on South West Institute of TAFE's Hamilton Campus. As part of this broader initiative, SWTAFE is seeking tender submissions for design and construct of new fire protection assets at their Ballarat Road Campus located in Hamilton, Victoria. This project will involve upgrading fire protection infrastructure at the Hamilton Campus which no longer meets current requirements and has reached end of life. A full replacement is required, encompassing all components of the wet fire system including water storage, pump systems, hydrants, booster assembly, hose reels and water distribution networks. SWTAFE will be seeking tenders based on a Design and Construct (D&C) methodology, where the appointed Head Contractor will be responsible for completing designs as part of their engagement, inclusive of all certification and permits. The intention is to reach practical completion for all works by September 2026.
