Major Projects Victoria (MPV) has been honoured for its work on Melbourne’s AAMI Park stadium taking out a top prize at the 2011 Australian Institute of Project Management Achievement Awards.

The stadium’s project management team from MPV was recognised last night with the award for best construction and engineering project over $100 Million.

Minister for Major Projects Denis Napthine praised MPV’s management of the AAMI Park project.

“I am delighted that Major Projects Victoria has received industry acknowledgment for their work on what has fast become one of Australia’s most iconic sports stadiums.’ Dr. Napthine said.
