Not only does the award identify exceptional craftsmanship and a commitment to construction excellence; it is also a recognised endorsement by industry and community.

Tiwi Partners Incorporation – Supporting Indigenous Australians

Back in 2016 the Tiwi Land Council (TLC) and Tiwi Islands Regional Council (TIRC) jointly sought expressions of interest from corporations with potential interest in and capacity for undertaking infrastructure projects in the Tiwi Islands and beyond.

Back in 2016 the Tiwi Land Council (TLC) and Tiwi Islands Regional Council (TIRC) jointly sought expressions of interest from corporations with potential interest in and capacity for undertaking infrastructure projects in the Tiwi Islands and beyond.

Sitzler were successfully identified as a corporation committed to a business model that included the training and employment of Tiwi People, working with Tiwi Enterprise and other approved indigenous business. From this, Tiwi Partners was born.

Over the past few years, the joint venture has built up an impressive portfolio of projects under contracts with Defence Australia. To date they have delivered over 18 Defence Infrastructure projects since the establishment of the joint venture.

Following on from this success, Tiwi Partners were recently awarded the $45M contract for JORN Phase 6 Facilities Project near Alice Springs, NT.

Now the partnership has taken the next big step forward. Earlier last month the Tiwi Island Equity Holders Pty and Sitzler Pty Ltd signed a new agreement to become an incorporated entity – Tiwi Partners (Aust) Pty Ltd. 

Tiwi Partners

Managing Director of Sitzler and Board Member of Tiwi Partners (Aust) Pty Ltd, Steve Margetic said of the partnership “The recent incorporation of Tiwi Partners (Aust) Pty Ltd is an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of our partnership with the Tiwi Land Council and Tiwi Island Regional Council. It is tremendous to see this business venture develop from a small joint venture enterprise into one that is now working across three states and successfully delivering a diverse range of projects for key clients”.

“We are particularly proud of the ongoing work being done by the board of Tiwi Partners. Independent Chair Ms Marion Scrymgour leads the board, ably supported by deputy chair Mr Allan McGill, and board members Lynette De Santis, Mary Dunn, Leslie Tungatulum, Stanley Tipiloura, Gawin Tipiloura, and Michael Sitzler along with myself.”

The Tiwi Partners board have worked tirelessly over the past few years to foster growth and ensure that original key objectives of the partnership were being met.

The training, employment and supporting of indigenous business and workers are all central to the business model but more importantly finding a way to use the business to give back to the community of the Tiwi people was a key deliverable.

With this in mind, the Tiwi Community Benefit was established. Tiwi Partners contributes directly back into the fund to support the improvement of living, health, community and family services on the Tiwi Islands.

“We are committed to the continued growth of Tiwi Partners (Aust) Pty Ltd and look forward to the continual growth of a substantial and sustainable benefit fund for the people of the Tiwi islands” said Steve.

Let Us Build Queensland Campaign

Let Us Build Queensland Campaign

Sitzler is a proud member of Australian Owned Contractors (AOC), an association formed to advocate for Australian owned engineering and construction companies to have more opportunities to deliver major public infrastructure projects across the country. On Sunday, AOC launched the ‘Let Us Build Queensland’ campaign, calling on Queensland politicians to commit to ensuring a greater share of construction contracts are awarded to home-grown Australian companies, not foreign owned construction giants. In the next 6 weeks, AOC TV and online ads will target five marginal seats ahead of the State election and our online petition is a big part of this.

We want to mobilise Queenslanders to sign the petition and help pressure politicians to make this issue part of their election agenda. Please show your support by signing the petition at https://letusbuild.com.au/ and follow the campaign on Facebook (www.facebook.com/australianownedcontractors) to encourage the Queensland government to think more strategically about how they procure major public infrastructure projects.

 Having won many state and national industry body awards to date, and more recently the 2019 Master Builders National Business Leadership Award – Large Civil Construction Business of the Year, Sitzler constructed the new NT Government’s 24 hour Palmerston Police Station and Watch House.

“The Palmerston Police Station is no ordinary secure building,” said Sitzler Director, Michael Sitzler. “It’s a significant and complex state-of-the-art policing facility dedicated to the staff and public users requiring police assistance, which includes secure and safe holding and processing facilities for those in custody.”

Palmerston Police Station Construction Complete

It was a busy six months for the Sitzler project team who recently completed the construction and handed over the new Palmerston Police Station in Darwin. These new $30 million facilities will replace the existing Police Station, providing upgraded 24-hour Policing capability which includes, administration offices, operational areas, watch house, community hall, and services building and covered parking areas. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner said of the facilities “Palmerston is a fast-growing, family city and the new, modern Police Station and Watch House will enable up to 200 Police to deliver key policing outcomes into the future. The facility provides a permanent and central physical presence in the Palmerston area, which will enhance response times”.

Palmerston Police Station
As a high-profile project for the local area, Sitzler maximised local participation throughout the construction period, including the use of a local secondary school whose VET students were tasked with fabricating the steel beams required for the carpark. Sitzler committed to and delivered on our promise for maximum indigenous participation on the project with indigenous workers equating to 19% of the total project hours. Having previously constructed the Australian Federal Police Headquarters in Darwin and a Police complex in the remote top end community of Wadeye this project is testament to Sitzler’s capability to deliver quality first class facilities for the NT Government and NT Police.
