Waterfront City

Docklands, VIC

"It's been great working with Programmed. Someone will always be at the end of the phone. If there's an issue that needs to be addressed quickly, Programmed are out carrying out those work. The response has been very positive. The colors, the efficiency of the job being done on time, the fact that the committee weren't hounded with complaints, the people that actually took it on were extremely pleased with the outcome."

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. 

Key Areas of Delivery 

  • Long-term maintenance planning aligned to client budgets and asset lifecycle needs 
  • Scheduled rust treatment, repairs, and repainting to prevent deterioration 
  • Rapid response to emerging issues to minimise long-term damage 
  • Regular reporting and communication for complete transparency 
  • Professionally delivered works with minimal disruption to operations 

Project Outcome 

The multi-year maintenance program revitalised the appearance and structural condition of Waterfront City, ensuring the steel structures were protected from ongoing environmental wear. CBD Facility Management reported strong stakeholder satisfaction, noting the high-quality workmanship, responsiveness, and reliability of the Programmed Melbourne team. Spreading the investment over seven years proved cost-effective, keeping the precinct well-maintained and visually appealing year-round.
