RCP was engaged by Junction Australia Ltd to deliver project management services for the development of the $8.2 million four‑storey social and affordable housing complex at 244–246 Churchill Road, Prospect. The project comprises 23 one‑ and two‑bedroom apartments designed to maximise site yield while meeting Junction’s vision for safe, high‑quality, community‑focused housing.

RCP led project governance, programming oversight and delivery-phase administration. This included issuing formal notifications of substantial commencement; preparing detailed monthly progress reports outlining programme status, critical path movements and forecasted practical completion; managing risks; coordinating consultant inputs; and facilitating decision‑making. RCP also undertook assessment and certification of practical completion for both base building and fit‑out works.

The award-winning project has been praised within the sector for its architectural quality and social value, with feedback noting the building delivers social housing to a standard exceeding comparable to the private‑market in the area.

The project was designed by JPE Design Studio, drawing inspiration from Prospect’s Art Deco character and creating a site‑responsive, efficient residential building.

RCP coordinated design development reviews, monitored design consultant outputs and ensured alignment between design intent, cost plans and construction methodologies. During construction, RCP oversaw contractor performance and managed project communications between Junction, consultants and the Palumbo delivery team.

Live Environment & Stakeholder Coordination

The project occupied a constrained urban site along a major transport corridor. RCP developed strategies to manage access, construction staging, safety, neighbourhood impacts and council interfaces. RCP championed and implemented transparent communication with Junction and all stakeholders throughout the project.

The development was completed in 2023 and now provides modern, accessible homes within one of Prospect’s urban development corridors.
