Project Background
Waterfront City in Melbourne’s Docklands is a high-profile waterfront development featuring extensive steel structures that had begun to show signs of rust and deterioration. Maintaining both the visual appeal and long-term condition of the precinct became a key priority for CBD Facility Management.
With limited capital available for a major one-off project, the client required a solution that addressed immediate maintenance needs while establishing a sustainable long-term plan.
Project Scope
Programmed was engaged to implement a long-term commercial painting maintenance strategy designed to protect Waterfront City’s structures, enhance overall presentation, and ensure issues were resolved proactively. The objective was to maintain asset condition, reduce future repair costs, and sustain a consistently high-quality appearance throughout the development.
Project Solution
Programmed Property Services delivered a tailored 7-year painting maintenance program focused on proactive treatment, ongoing care, and budget efficiency.
The program included regular inspections, rust treatment, surface repairs, and scheduled repainting to prevent further deterioration. Consistent communication, expert technical delivery, and minimal disruption ensured smooth operations for tenants and visitors.

Project Outcome
