We are proud to announce our new partnership with Seqwater, the Queensland Government statutory authority responsible for delivering safe, secure, and cost-effective bulk drinking water to 3.7 million people across South East Queensland.
As one of Australia’s largest and most geographically diverse water utilities, Seqwater plays a critical role in managing flood mitigation services, maintaining catchment health, enabling community recreation, and supporting more than 1,200 farmers with irrigation across seven water supply schemes.
Under this partnership, Programmed will provide Comprehensive Facilities Management Services across Seqwater’s portfolio. In addition, it will also be delivering part of Seqwater’s accommodation strategy, encompassing installations, alterations and modifications, removals and upgrades across identified sites their property portfolio.
This partnership marks a significant milestone and strengthens our commitment to supporting essential infrastructure providers with reliable, comprehensive solutions that improve operational performance and community outcomes.
Graeme Hurn, CEO of Facility Management at Programmed, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership: “Working with Seqwater marks an exciting chapter for us. This collaboration not only strengthens our presence in Southeast Queensland but also builds on our long-standing experience in the water industry. We’ve proudly supported major water authorities across the country, and we’re delighted to now include Seqwater among them”.
We look forward to working closely with Seqwater to help ensure the continued resilience, safety, and sustainability of water services across South East Queensland.
Rob Coe, Head of FM – QLD & National Contracts, shares: “What matters most to us is the opportunity to support the communities we serve by helping to care for the essential services people rely on every day. We’re proud to contribute to the wellbeing and resilience of the region.”
Simone Dalley, Manager Property, Fleet and Facilities at Seqwater said being able to stage the go-live of services delivered by Programmed will ensure a seamless transition across the business.
“Centralising the delivery and administration of our soft services and minor office accommodation works will allow us to ensure our assets are well-maintained and positioned to meet our needs now and into the future.”
Programmed’s mobilisation with Seqwater began in July. Planning is well underway for transition of minor accommodation works from 1 August, with immediate work on finalising the scope for delivery. Facilities management services will transition from 1 September. The focus will be on prioritising regional sites as Seqwater transitions to a full-service delivery with Programmed.
