A new £13.5m Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) Test Centre and two-storey administrative building in Mallusk will be delivered by Northern Ireland construction company Henry Brothers.
The firm will be responsible for both the design and build of the development, with the Test Centre featuring a ten lane vehicle testing area, including two pit-based inspection lanes for heavy goods vehicles, seven ramp-based lanes for light vehicles and a dedicated bay for motorcycle testing.
External works will include the development of a new internal road network, car parking and an off-road motorcycle driving test track to improve operational efficiency and accessibility.
David Henry, Managing Director at Henry Brothers, said: "We are pleased to be working with DVA on the new Test Centre in Mallusk, which will be designed to meet the growing demand for vehicle testing services while ensuring the highest standards of road safety.
"At Henry Brothers, we are committed to delivering projects that not only meet the current needs of the economy but also provide a future-proofed solution for our clients.
"We are looking forward to working with DVA to enhance Northern Ireland's infrastructure and deliver a facility that will serve the community for years to come."
Jeremy Logan, Chief Executive at DVA, added: "The construction of this new facility marks a significant investment in the future of our vehicle testing operations.
"By working with Henry Brothers to upgrade and expand our capacity at Mallusk, we will be able to provide a more efficient and user-friendly experience for all customers.
"The new centre will allow us to continue delivering safe, reliable, and more timely vehicle testing services to people across Northern Ireland."
