Real Estate & Facility Management Services (REFM)

The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) brings together key transport, planning, land, precinct and policy functions within a single department to create thriving places and connected communities. Since 1 January 2020, VicRoads and Public Transport Victoria have been part of DTP, whilst Minister for Finance and Minister for Planning property functions have also since transferred to DTP providing Governments central and leading Land and Property function. DTP's Portfolios play a vital role in enabling current and future infrastructure projects by ensuring land is available when required by the Victorian Government. Majority of assets are held for future transport or major projects in which expected time frame of delivery can change with Government priorities. Not centrally funded, it's critical that land and property assets are maintained, commercialised and fully utilised to provide a revenue stream to the Department and reduce risk and maintenance costs.

The portfolios consist of a diverse range of asset types including residential, commercial, improved and unimproved land, telecommunications and commercial road licensing agreements. Scope of Service includes but not limited to the following: · Leasing & Licencing; · Administration & Management; · Renewals & new opportunities; · Planned & reactive maintenance (e.g. minor repairs, painting, cleaning, electrical, plumbing, lawn mowing, landscaping, etc.); and · Real Estate Services (advertising for leasing, market reviews, landowner representation) .
