These awards reflect the Group’s continued success in converting a strong pipeline of opportunities and reinforces the Group’s strategic focus on sustainable growth and order book diversification. This includes the addition of the SEA 1180 program of works following Civmec’s successful acquisition of Luerssen Australia, further strengthening the Group’s position in the maritime defence sector.

Luerssen Australia Acquisition and SEA 1180 Program
Following the successful acquisition of Luerssen Australia, Civmec has added the value of the remaining SEA 1180 program of works to its order book and will now work diligently towards the successful completion of the remaining Offshore Patrol Vessels. This endeavour is further reinforcing the Group’s commitment to supporting Australia’s naval shipbuilding and sustainment initiatives.

Civmec’s Chairman, James Fitzgerald, commented, “Bringing Luerssen Australia into the Civmec Group reinforces our commitment to building sovereign capability and we look forward to bringing increased levels of efficiency into delivering comprehensive shipbuilding solutions.”

Cape Lambert Port A – High Density Ores (CLAHDO) Upgrade
Among the newly secured contracts, Civmec has been awarded a package of works for Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Port A facility. The contract involves the upgrade of balanced machines to support the introduction of high-density ore types. The contract will be delivered by Civmec’s maintenance division.

This is a multidiscipline scope and some of the work will be undertaken at Civmec’s Henderson manufacturing facility, with installation delivered throughout 2026.

The award strengthens Civmec’s portfolio and reinforces its capability to deliver complex brownfield upgrades in operational environments.

Fortescue Green Iron Plant
Civmec has been awarded the contract for installation of civils and SMPE&I for Fortescue’s Christmas Creek Green Iron Project. This project, located at Fortescue’s Green Energy Hub at Christmas Creek in Western Australia’s Pilbara, is part of Fortescue’s commitment to developing the technologies and processes to produce green metal. First production is anticipated in FY2026.

This vertical package of work includes site establishment for temporary facilities, civil and concrete works, structural steel fabrication and installation, mechanical works and electrical and instrumentation works.

Perth Sporting and Entertainment Precinct
Civmec is also pleased to advise that the consortium comprising Civmec, Seymour Whyte, and Aurecon has been selected by the WA Government through Main Roads Western Australia as the preferred proponent for the planning and design development of the Perth Sporting and Entertainment Precinct Project.

Subject to finalisation of the contract, work on this phase of the project will be delivered under an alliance contract model. The architectural and engineering effort will commence immediately and is anticipated to be complete by the end of CY2025.

Subject to further approvals, the Alliance Contract will be extended to include the entire delivery of the overall sporting and entertainment precinct commencing in early CY2026. Civmec has only recognised the value associated with the planning and design stage of the project within its order book.

The precinct will create a vibrant, multi-purpose destination enhancing Burswood Park’s existing activities, delivering new amenity and improved accessibility for visitors and nearby residents, and strengthening connections between Optus Stadium, Perth city and surrounds.

It will elevate Western Australia’s standing as a premier place for sport and entertainment, featuring:

• A new outdoor amphitheatre with capacity for 15,000 to 20,000 people, complementing nearby existing venues and entertainment infrastructure, such as Optus Stadium, Crown Perth and the surrounds.
• Facilities to support live music and sporting events, including an annual Supercars event, cycling criterium racing and paralympic racing.
• Enhancement of the local environment through landscape improvements and renewal, including optimising green spaces, precinct connectivity and maximising the river setting.

Civmec’s Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Tallon, said, “Our diversification into becoming an end-to-end supplier of services for balance machines is continuing to pay dividends with the award of the contract to upgrade the balance machines at Rio Tinto’s CLA facility. We are very pleased to continue our strong relationship with Fortesque and be part of their campaign to be a world leader in the production of green metal.”

Regarding gaining preferred proponent for the planning and design development of the Perth Sporting and Entertainment Precinct Project, Mr Tallon said, “Having been previously involved in iconic projects in the city such as the Optus Stadium, the Kids’ Bridge, Elizabeth Quay, Matagarup Bridge and most recently the Boorloo Bridge, we are honoured to have the opportunity to again participate in a project that will redefine the city’s engagement with sport and entertainment.”
