This project focused on upgrading 43 critical sites across eastern Australia, resulting in both increased efficiencies and enhanced security outcomes.
Guided by the jointly created motto "Invest in our Future," the project aimed to achieve three key objectives:
- Reduce the number of systems in use,
- Increase multi-department utilisation of technology,
- Identify opportunities to decrease reliance on in field physical security, by utilising technology capabilities for increase coverage and create consistency with responses.
The project involved integrating 497 doors, 300 cameras and 40 SIP-controlled devices, creating a comprehensive security solution.
Despite challenges, such as COVID-related delays, union consultations, compliance with the SOCI Act, and complex logistics across remote sites, the team successfully navigated these obstacles to deliver outstanding results.
