Bates Smart and Garner Davis are very proud to have taken home the IDEA Award for Community Services for the Refugee Resource Hub in Dandenong.

The pro-bono project was a privilege to be a part of, providing much needed support for people seeking asylum and refugees living in Melbourne’s southeast.

We thank the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) for their visionary approach and the invaluable opportunity to assist.

To the numerous suppliers, manufacturers and individuals who generously dedicated their time, products, and services to ensure the optimal outcome, we, as are the ASRC, immensely grateful. The response exceeded our expectations, and the sheer number of contributors was truly heart-warming.

Special thanks to Ash Keating, WSP, Philip Chun, Architecture and Access, Aglo, FPOV, GreenCap, Zoran Konjarski, Enlocus, SCR, Intrax, Ratio, Interface, Elton Group, K5 furniture, Dulux, Velux and GWA.
