Architecture

ELF 2B - Enoggera Facilities expanded one of Australia's largest army bases, Gallipoli Barracks in Brisbane, accommodating an increase in personnel from 3,000 to 4,500 through the Enhanced Land Force Phase 2B (ELF 2B) initiative.

The project comprises 165 new and refurbished buildings to support growth, including working accommodation for the 8/9RAR Motorised Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment (2 CER), and the 7th Combat Service Support Battalion (7 CSSB). It also houses the Warrant Officer and Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, a dedicated close training area, living-in-accommodation, a new sports centre and indoor pool, a conference facility with a 400-seat auditorium, headquarters facilities for HQ 1 Division and 1st Intelligence Company, and Defence Support Queensland infrastructure.

Thoughtful staging and decanting were employed to minimise disruptions to army units. A modular 'kit of parts' approach across cladding, structure, and services fosters consistency and ensures the facilities' future flexibility and adaptability.
