After the fire at 8 Nicholson St, East Melbourne in 2018, Mcorp was engaged to project manage the relocation of 600+ DELWP staff to temporary accommodation and then manage the return relocation to newly refurbished accommodation.

Throughout the project, work was carried out during major refurbishments which required interim relocations to be carried out with temporary workspace reconfigurations. Mcorp also ensured that all items left behind and undamaged by the fire were boxed, labelled and held in a secure storage area for DELWP staff to reclaim.
