Australian Embassy Jakarta

Australian Embassy Jakarta

Strengthening global relationships with Australia's largest embassy. 

Opened in 2016, the Australia Embassy in Jakarta is Australia's largest embassy complex located anywhere in the world. The 40,000sqm embassy site is home to Australia's permanent mission to Indonesia and provides and official residence for the Head of Mission together with accommodation and recreational facilities for Australian-based officers and their families.  

The APP Group was engaged by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to provide project management services for the Australian Embassy Jakarta project. The role required diligent representation of the Commonwealth's interests, leading a large international and local project team, and successfully delivering the project's construction phase. 

The building's design incorporated elements sensitive to the Indonesian climate and harnessed low resource technologies to minimise the impact on the environment. Lightly insulated façades together with sophisticated ventilation systems reduced energy use. Site stormwater was managed through extensive landscaping, green roof technology and an underground water retention system, while water conservation was achieved through rainwater harvesting, sewage recycling and low-flow sanitary fixtures.
