“Brookfield Multiplex was the standout team in Council’s comprehensive three-stage tender process which was a first for the City of Casey and is fitting for the size and scale of this project,” said city of Casey mayor Sam Aziz. He cited other nearby projects completed by the company, including Melbourne’s Federation Square, Royal Melbourne Showgrounds and the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. “This gives Council confidence that Brookfield Multiplex understands the Bunjil Place project and can produce the unique design and meet the special requirements of all the internal facilities such as the theatre and community library,” he added.
