The Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD or the Commonwealth) has received funding in the 2023 / 2024 Federal Budget for a new program of capital works for Old Parliament House at 18 King George Terrace, Parkes ACT (OPH). The current funding range for projects in the program is $16,816,500 - $20,754,000. The projects to be included in the program have been identified as priority projects in the Life Cycle Cost Plan, (the document that maps out the capital investment requirements for OPH over a 15-year period).

Additionally, OPH will celebrate its 100th birthday in May 2027 and projects in areas which are public-facing and which will enhance the visitor experience have been prioritized for completion ahead of this milestone. Details of the Works Packages can be found in section 3.1.1 of the Statement of Requirement.

MoAD has decided to engage a Managing Contractor (the Contractor) to deliver the works due to the need for detailed scoping, planning, design, programming, sequencing and co-ordination of the Work Packages and due to the collaborative and flexible working model of the managing contractor delivery method.

The Managing Contractor services will include the provision of construction management services relating to existing condition investigations, leading design development including engaging all necessary consultants, scoping, gaining necessary approvals (including heritage), programming, cost advice, planning and delivery of Works Packages, site management, tenant coordination, safety management, commissioning of Works and defects management.
