Together, these awards lift Civmec’s order book to a new height of $1.5 billion and underscore the ongoing confidence Civmec’s clients place in the Group as a delivery partner of choice for their critical projects, built on a track record of safe, dependable execution.
The new awards span the Group’s resources, infrastructure, energy and maintenance activities and are expected to be delivered across FY27 and FY28.
Iluka Eneabba SMPE&I Package
Civmec has been awarded a further package of work by Iluka Resources at the Eneabba Rare Earths Refinery in Western Australia, this time for the structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation (SMPE&I) installation works across the facility. The award extends Civmec’s involvement on the project, building on the field-erected tanks and civil concrete works the Group is already delivering on site, as well as the SMPE&I bridging scope currently underway.
Under the new package, Civmec is responsible for the multidisciplinary installation works across the refinery’s major process areas. The scope encompasses extensive off-site fabrication of pipe spools, installation of structural steel modules and platework, pipe supports and pipework, mechanical equipment, electrical and instrumentation and switchroom infrastructure. The scope will support Iluka in commencing commissioning of the refinery from mid CY2027.
The Eneabba refinery is Australia’s first fully integrated facility for the production of separated rare earth oxides, positioning Western Australia as a strategic hub for the downstream processing of rare earths and supporting efforts to diversify global supply chains.
Commenting on the award, Civmec’s Chief Executive Officer Patrick Tallon said, “We are sincerely grateful to Iluka for their continued trust in us to deliver this next phase of their landmark project. Progressing from our tanks and civil works through to the full SMPE&I installation reflects the strong, collaborative relationship between our teams and the considerable hard work both organisations have put in to reach this point. We look forward to continuing to deliver safely alongside Iluka as this nationally significant facility takes shape.”
Perth Park
Civmec is pleased to advise that the Alliance comprising Civmec, Seymour Whyte and Aurecon has been awarded the major construction contract for Perth Park, Western Australia’s premier entertainment and sporting precinct on the Burswood Peninsula. The award progresses the project from the planning and design phase into construction delivery, with the precinct expected to be substantially complete in late 2027.
Civmec has recognised only its portion of the participating interest in the Alliance Contract, the value of which was recognised within the Group’s order book value announced on 15 May 2026.
Delivered under an alliance contract model, the project adds to Civmec’s portfolio of major iconic public infrastructure projects across Western Australia.
Commenting on the award, Civmec’s Executive Chairman, Mr James Fitzgerald, said, “Civmec has been fortunate to contribute to many of the projects that have shaped this city, from Optus Stadium and Elizabeth Quay through to the Matagarup, the Koolangka Bridge (the Kids bridge) and, most recently, the Boorloo bridges. To now be entrusted with helping build Perth Park, alongside our Alliance partners, is a genuine privilege. It is a development that will reshape how Western Australians come together around sport, entertainment and culture, and we are proud to be playing our part in bringing it to life.”
Other projects and opportunity updates
Consistent with Civmec’s focus on maintenance services as a pillar of growth, and its investment in establishing facilities in Port Hedland and Gladstone to service the needs of maintenance clients, Civmec has recently secured a number of new awards, panel agreement extensions and new orders across its maintenance portfolio, increasing utilisation at its permanent regional facilities. The Group has also secured packages of work from long-term clients across the lithium, rare earths, critical minerals, iron ore, coal, alumina and hydrocarbons commodities, as well as manufacturing work to be delivered from its Newcastle facility. Civmec has increased its involvement in ongoing and new early-contractor involvement (ECI) activities across a variety of commodities and geographic locations, positioning the business to secure future tender opportunities as they come to market.
