Service

AT&L provided end-to-end civil engineering services, including civil design, service co-ordination, authority approvals, stakeholder management, project management and construction support to facilitate successful project delivery and Statement of Compliance outcomes.

Project Overview

The Amaroo Business Park project existed as a large-scale industrial estate delivered across approximately 40 hectares through a staged approach.

Stage 1: 13.1ha including a major logistics facility, the Amazon sort centre
Stage 2: ~19ha future development parcel

The project sat within a complex authority environment:

Hume City Council
Department of Transport and Planning Victoria
Melbourne Water
Yarra Valley Water

Key infrastructure requirements included:

Council road upgrades and new roundabout
Scheme drainage with wetland and retarding basin
Lead-in services across freeway and rail corridors
Significant bulk earthworks
High-risk service crossings including fibre infrastructure

AT&L’s Role & Key Infrastructure Features

AT&L led the civil engineering and delivery coordination across the full project lifecycle.

Scope included:

Civil design – roads, drainage, bulk earthworks (excluding on-lot works)
Service coordination – sewer, water, drainage, electrical, NBN
Authority approvals and stakeholder management
Project management and programme coordination
Construction phase support and delivery interface
Statement of Compliance facilitation

This ensured all infrastructure elements were aligned across multiple authorities, contractors, and delivery stages.

Design Innovations That Reduced Disruption

The project required careful planning to avoid delays across approvals, construction, and tenant delivery.

Key design decisions focused on reducing friction:

Staged infrastructure delivery to unlock early authority sign-offs for critical services

Split servicing strategies, including sewer deeds, to fast-track approvals and construction

Progressing selected works ahead of approvals, with managed risk alignment with the client

Optimising service corridors across major constraints like freeway and rail crossings

Adapting designs in real time to manage construction risks such as cable protection, service relocation, and material changes

Key Outcome & Benefits

Delivered both stages on time and under budget despite complex, high-risk constraints

Aligned infrastructure with Amazon facility and title release, avoiding delays

Secured multi-authority approvals within tight timeframes, reducing programme risk

Enabled staged delivery without delaying future development

Reduced cost and rework through coordinated, buildable design

Client Testimonial

AT&L’s role in the Amaroo project required multiple dynamic approaches to not only Authority specific requirements and constraints, but also to Goodman’s changing requirements to meet an evolving uncertain commercial landscape to meet market demands. In this capacity AT&L worked well to ensure maximum flexibility could be designed and met to meet these ever-changing demands and outcomes. Lot configurations and authority servicing requirements changed multiple times over the journey, AT&L tailored their approach to meet our demands and delivered on their project expectations.

This project demonstrates how strong coordination, proactive design, and staged delivery can unlock complex industrial developments without slowing down commercial outcomes.
