#### Project overview 

 The Russell R4 Ablutions Remediation Project forms part of Defence’s ongoing asset upgrade and facilities improvement program across the Russell Office precinct. The project responds to outdated amenities within the R4 building, delivering improved functionality, compliance, hygiene and user experience within a highly operational Defence environment. The refurbishment works were undertaken within an active government facility, requiring close coordination with Base personnel, controlled internal access, stringent security protocols and careful staging to avoid disruption to tenants and Defence capability. The project objective is to deliver safe, modern and compliant ablutions that align with Defence standards while achieving “zero harm” through rigorous health, safety and environmental controls.
