- Contract for the fit-out of the Busselton Department of Transport Centre has been awarded to WA company Devlyn Australia
- Fit-out will start soon
- New centre will service growing South West population
The new Department of Transport (DoT) Centre in Busselton is a step closer, with Devlyn Australia appointed as the successful contractor for the fit-out of the new centre.
The contract, which is valued at over $700,000, was awarded to the Western Australian company following a competitive tender process.
Devlyn Australia, which has an office in Bunbury, plans to start the fit-out in the coming weeks, with approximately 90 per cent of the contract value to be spent in the South West region.
The new fit-out of the DoT centre will include four sit-down counters, including a dedicated Practical Driving Assessment counter.
The new centre will also include increased access to the computerised theory and hazard perception testing and DoT services previously unavailable in Busselton such as National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) worker screening checks, jetty licence payments and over-the-counter support for passenger transport operators.
The centre will be located at Unit 1, 57 Cook Street, Busselton, providing customers with a convenient one-stop-shop for their licensing and transport needs.
Comments attributed to Minister Assisting the Transport Minister David Michael:
"The new Busselton DoT Centre will be an asset to the South West and cater to the increasing population and demands for transport services in the region.
"Awarding this contract is a big step forward for the project, with the fit-out expected to start in coming weeks.
"The new centre is on track to open before the end of the year, which will benefit the South West community with a fast growing population.
"It will provide customers with a convenient local one-stop-shop for their licensing and transport needs."
As stated by South West Region MLC Jackie Jarvis:
"This project highlights the Cook Government's commitment to cater for the needs of the fast-growing South West region.
"Besides improving service delivery, having a company with a local presence complete the work provides jobs and economic benefits to the local community."
