The P.A. People successfully delivered their 11th communications package for Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix – with the event having returned to Melbourne from 7th-10th April.

The P.A. People were on hand to assist the team from iEDM (the project managers) and the AGPC (the client) to deliver this iconic event.

Since 2011, The P.A. People have been responsible for the delivery of the track Public Address system across the six kilometres circuit and have since added provision of all race marshal and site two-way radios, and the patron CCTV system. 

Campbell Waller, Senior Project Manager for The P.A. People notes “it is a massive undertaking. We are typically on site for six weeks. It is a great job.  The Grand Prix project has continued to evolve, and this year was no different.  The return of huge crowds meant that that everyone had to be on their toes.”

Each year, The P.A. People provide almost 1000 speakers, 30 UPS systems, 450 two-way radios and 12 redundant repeater channels, and some 60 CCTV cameras across the site. 

“The P.A. People is proud to have been asked to deliver its 11th communications package for this iconic event” added Chris Dodds, Managing Director of the P.A. People.
