A review of the ‘Electorate Properties Unit’ in 2019 resulted in the unit’s roles and responsibilities being redefined, with a new electorate office framework and standards implemented to better align with the strategic direction of the Parliament of Victoria. The new ‘Property Services Team’ was created from this review – a client-focused and Member-centric model to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of electorate office relocation and refurbishment projects to ensure successful outcomes within an approved framework which meet Member expectations. Property Partners are each assigned a portfolio of 18 electorate office properties and are the first point of call for all electorate office property matters and project issues, liaising with Members and electorate officers throughout the process. We reflect on how the model performed against its key objectives in the first 2 years as it met its first challenge: service delivery and relationship building in a global pandemic.
