Established in 1927 Woodside Barracks is located on approximately 170 hectares of land, 25 kilometres east of Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills. Originally known as Woodside Camp, the barracks were used for the training of light horse and infantry. During World War II, the property was expanded to accommodate up to four infantry battalions and was converted into a refugee camp in 1949 to house up to 3,000 people. Woodside Barracks is currently home to the 16th Air Land Regiment.

The refurbishment of the Woodside Barracks included improvements to six distinct buildings, including training room, recreation gym, offices, Sergeant’s Mess, warehouse, male ablutions, and
sheds. Various trades and services were engaged in the project, requiring the creation of additional documentation for each individual building in accordance with defence regulations.

Dewick & Associates have provided Architectural, Civil, Communications, Electrical, Fire Safety (Wet & Dry), Hydraulic, Mechanical, Landscape, Secuirty and Structural Manuals for the project in the Defence Format on behalf of the Main Contractor. Dewick & Associates have also provided As-Installed drawings including Metadata in line with the defence requirements.
