Acknowledgement of country

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who we recognise as Australia’s First Peoples whose cultural practices continue today.

Mental Health Beds Expansion Program

Location Melbourne, VIC
Client Lendlease
Sectors Health, Community infrastructure

We’re proud to have contributed to the completion of the P144 Projects for Lendlease, particularly the $492 million Mental Health Beds Expansion Program.  

The Wamarra team played a collaborative role in delivering this community initiative.  

Our people brought their expertise to the project through diverse landscaping contributions, including topsoil installation, hardscape surfaces, demolition, concrete and paving work, irrigation, fencing, bollards, signage, and more.  

Projects like this create great outcomes for locals, both for those using the service and those working on its delivery. Large-scale sustainable contracts create valuable opportunities for our Aboriginal workforce, with this project seeing our team contribute over 6,575 hours. 

We’re pleased to have played a part in strengthening healthcare infrastructure, providing relief to emergency departments and spaces for those who need immediate support. With ever-rising demand, the state government has swiftly introduced an additional 144 mental health beds, with the aim of supporting around 2,500 individuals annually.  

Thank you to all those involved, from our client to our skilled crew.
