Commonwealth, State and Local Government

Workable provides independent property and strategic advice to government agencies operating within complex policy, legislative, governance and accountability environments. We understand the considerations that shape government property decisions and the need to balance operational requirements, public value, financial performance and long-term stewardship.

We support agencies across the property lifecycle, spanning strategic planning, sustainability and portfolio advisory, options analysis and business cases, tenant representation, leasing, transactions and negotiations, procurement and delivery. This gives agencies a consistent, independent advisory perspective as property requirements are defined, options are considered, decisions are made and outcomes are implemented.

Acting on behalf of the agency, we bring an occupier-focused perspective to property decisions and provide advice that is commercially informed, defensible and aligned with the organisation’s requirements and broader objectives.

Our independence means the advice starts and ends with the outcome that is right for the agency.
