Kane Constructions is delighted to announce that it has been awarded the VCAT Accommodation Fitout project, which launches a new, central VCAT facility at 308 La Trobe Street in early 2026. This significant contract reinforces Kane's reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects in Melbourne’s vibrant central business district.
Commissioned by Court Services Victoria, the project involves the fitout of 14,000m² across 10 levels within the existing building. The works will transform the space into a modern, purpose-built facility, including hearing rooms, mediation spaces, offices, and common areas.
Delivered in a heavily staged manner to ensure minimal disruption, the project will maintain the highest standards throughout. Warm shell tenancies on the Ground Floor and cold shell spaces across Levels 19–27 will be developed into functional and state-of-the-art environments to meet VCAT’s operational needs. The project includes a 12-month construction period followed by a 12-month defects liability period, demonstrating Kane's commitment to quality and long-term client satisfaction.
A key feature of this project is its strong focus on sustainability. By prioritising the adaptive re-use of the building’s existing fabric, the project will significantly reduce its environmental footprint. Upon completion, the building will achieve a 6 Star NABERS Energy rating, a 5 Star Green Star Performance rating, and a 70% reduction in carbon emissions, with 100% of base building energy sourced from renewable energy. These sustainability goals are closely aligned with Kane commitment to environmentally responsible practices and delivering future-ready workplaces.
Kane Constructions is proud to contribute to this transformative project, which blends innovation, sustainability and functionality to deliver a world-class venue for VCAT.
