Sherlock Facility Management Consulting Blog - January 2025

Celebrating 10 years of Sherlock FMC

We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary with a leadership strategy session in the breathtaking snowy mountains. The event included a client presentation, mountain treks and a tour of the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre

Pushing Boundaries in the Snowy Mountains

The session brought together a diverse group of industry experts to discuss key initiatives that will drive innovation in the Australian Facility Management sector. We're excited to unveil several groundbreaking projects in the coming year.

The event was a chance to reflect on our accomplishments and discuss our ambitious plans for the future.

It was particularly stimulating to discuss the future of our organisation and the key initiatives we aim to launch in 2025.

We will publish further information as developments progress, but please stay tuned for what we anticipate will be pioneering advancements in the Australian Facility Management industry.

Kokoda for Legacy 2025

We're thrilled to announce an extraordinary challenge: Our Senior Consultant Rob, myself, and a team of facilities management professionals and valued past clients, will be tackling the historic 96-kilometre Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. This historic trail, known for its significance in World War II, will test us to our limits as we follow in the footsteps of the Anzacs to raise crucial funds for the charity Legacy, an organization providing essential support to veterans and their families.

Although the main trek roster is full, you can still join our training walks or participate in the Anzac Day for Legacy initiative. We'll be documenting our journey and sharing regular updates about our training progress, along with detailed sponsorship opportunities. Your support, whether through participation or sponsorship, will make a real difference in the lives of those who have served our nation with courage and dedication..

Snowy Hydro

We are grateful to the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre for providing us with an exclusive behind-the-scenes perspective of this remarkable project. Snowy 2.0 represents the next chapter in the Snowy Scheme's history. This nation-building renewable energy project will deliver sustainable, on-demand power and extensive storage capabilities for future generations of Australians.

The project involves an innovative connection between two existing reservoirs, Tantangara and Talbingo, through 27 km of meticulously engineered tunnels, accompanied by a new underground power station. This sophisticated system will supply flexible, on-demand power through an efficient closed-loop design. By leveraging excess solar and wind energy to pump water to the higher reservoir for subsequent use, the project optimizes renewable energy efficiency while effectively storing power for periods of high demand.
