Ontoit staff provided project management services to Major Projects Victoria on this complex redevelopment project, employing their extensive arts sector project knowledge and experience to ensure the effective management of the consultant teams, contractors, suppliers, user groups, and project stakeholders (including Ministers, Minister’s Representatives and Advisors, Department Secretaries and MPV Executives).
