Following an evaluation of existing office accommodation, the Department of Justice identified a need to provide improved facilities for the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) and Industrial Relations Commission (IRC), which would meet their requirements well into the future. The Masonic Centre at  66 Goulburn Street, Sydney was selected as a prime office location based on its proximity to other government services and the NCAT head office.

​

DEM was commissioned to design and document the refurbishment of Levels 14 to 17 of the Centre, changing the use of the four floors from commercial to public use. Work encompassed the design of staff offices, conciliation rooms, hearing rooms, storage/ utilities and breakout facilities as well as a secure entry with reception and waiting areas.
