McLeod Street Redevelopment – Stages 3 & 4

Stages 3 and 4 of the McLeod Street Redevelopment transformed the former power station site in Cairns into a modern operational hub supporting regional distribution and maintenance services.

The works comprised construction of a new two-level Warehouse Facility (B3), a contemporary Administration Building (B2), a Generator/MSB Shelter (B7), and a security-controlled site entry. The 2,369m² warehouse incorporated metering, line and wash stores, workshops, high-capacity racking, amenities and a loading bay with overhead gantry crane, while the upper level provided breakout and meeting spaces linked to the administration building via an elevated eco-link walkway. The 1,140m² administration facility delivered open-plan offices, collaboration areas, meeting rooms, lift access and modern amenities.

Extensive external works included new security fencing, sliding entry gates and carefully managed construction along a heritage-sensitive cemetery boundary. Biophilic landscaping and shaded outdoor areas were integrated to enhance site amenity and sustainability. Delivered within a live operational environment, the project strengthened Energy Queensland’s regional capability through the provision of efficient, purpose-built infrastructure.
