Provision of catering, accommodation, reception and booking system services - Pinkenba

Summary and scope

The Centre for National Resilience Brisbane (CNRB) located at Damascus Barracks in Pinkenba, was constructed and completed by the Department of Finance (Finance) in 2022. The site contains two accommodation blocks (initially circa 300 bed capacity), a Security Hub, Health Centre, Central Communications, Logistics Warehouse and commercial Kitchen Facilities. The management and use of the CNRB facility at Pinkenba has been provided by the Government to the AFP to support a multinational police training facility (Pinkenba Hub) with Pacific Command. This site will also lend itself as an opportunity to further support Learning and Development Command (LDC) as well as other AFP business areas in future stages for accommodation and training at Pinkenba Training Centre, a second AFP site within Pinkenba. Situated approximately 6 kilometres from the Pinkenba Hub, the Pinkenba Training Centre (PTC) has been operating in its current form since July 2024 and is the central focal point for operational safety and practice, public order management, investigations and other operational and corporate training for the AFP. PTC contains a reception area, training and syndicate rooms and a warehouse with specialist facilities which provide a broad range of training capabilities for the AFP, primarily during business hours.
