Wurriki Nyal Civic Precinct

Wurriki Nyal is the City of Greater Geelong's civic precinct, bringing council teams previously spread across nine separate offices into a single workplace overlooking Johnstone Park. Burgtec supplied all workstations, meeting chairs, tables and collaborative furniture across the five office levels — roughly 9,400m² of A-Grade space for around 850 staff — delivered on a 12-week program. Designed by Cox Architecture and built by BESIX Watpac, the building uses a hybrid structure of concrete, steel and mass timber, with exposed CLT and glulam left visible throughout. The furniture package had to support genuinely collaborative ways of working while holding its own in a light-filled timber interior built to some of the country's toughest sustainability targets.
