CONSTRUCTION has kicked off on food company Nuttelex’s new 14,720 sqm purpose-built manufacturing facility in Melbourne’s south east, which will have an end value of $50 million.
Vaughan Constructions has kicked off the build for the purpose-built facility, for Perfection Private and its client Nuttelex. Located at Perfection Private’s 22-hectare Rangebank Business Park in Cranbourne West, the Concept Y designed project will also have 7,000 sqm of hardstand and sit on a 26,100 sqm site.,
According to Vaughan Constructions’ senior development manager, Chris Telley, Perfection Private engaged Vaughan to work closely with their tenant Nuttelex to design and construct the new facility.
“Vaughan has worked very closely with the Nuttelex project team to understand and identify their operational and project requirements in order to provide Nuttelex with a project outcome designed to serve both its current operational requirements and its anticipated long-term growth.”
Sustainability features include a 99kw solar PV system, energy efficient sensor lighting, solar hot water, rainwater harvesting and re-use, native plants and drip irrigation, and low volatile organic compounds paints, carpets and sealants.
Nuttelex Food Products CEO, Geoff Long, said development of this site is due to expansion of its existing operations to a second state-of-the art environmentally sustainable manufacturing facility in Victoria.
The new facility is due for completion around March 2024.
