Vic paid $176k for Games office that will never be used

Gus McCubbing

Public tender documents show architectural firm PMDL, which has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong and Hong Kong, was contracted in September last year for “professional engineering services” on Games headquarters in the regional centre south-west of Melbourne.
