Community infrastructure
At Empower, we deliver high-quality community infrastructure including sporting facilities, social and affordable housing and parks and recreation facilities. Our integrated design and construction focus ensures tailored solutions that meet client needs while supporting long-term social and environmental outcomes for our clients.
Sport and recreation facilities
Delivering high-performance sporting facilities requires a unique blend of vision, expertise and meticulous project management. In the dynamic and growing regions that we operate in across Australia, the need for high value amenity is increasing. Our growing communities are demanding well-planned and expertly delivered sports and recreation facilities.
Empower delivers project management, design and superintendency services; nurturing projects from feasibility through initial concept, design development with Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), through to construction and final commissioning. Our experience spans golf courses, tennis courts, bicycle facilities and community-level sports grounds.
We have delivered facilities on sites with challenges including the need for remediation of contaminated sites, marine muds with acid sulphate soils, flood plain constraints, marine habitat and other natural environment R&O.
Empower’s delivery of the Minnippi Golf Course in South East Queensland represented the transformation of unused cow pasture into an award winning community facility. Empower’s capability as a consultant with both an extensive and deep knowledge of constructibility, along with expertise in complex engineering design were key to project success.
