DOWNER AWARDED FIVE YEAR MINING CONTRACT EXTENSION
Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced it had been awarded a contract by Millmerran Power
Partners to continue the provision of mining services at the Commodore open cut coal mine in South East
Queensland. The project is located adjacent to the Millmerran Power Station, approximately 200 kilometres
west of Brisbane.
The contract extension is for an additional five-year term and is valued at $286 million. This will see Downer
continue operations at Commodore until the end of August 2024.
Downer has been providing a total mining service at Commodore since 2001 to deliver coal to the Millmerran
Power Station.
The scope of works includes operating and managing the mine and associated activities, including mine
planning and design, drill and blast, overburden removal, coal mining and rehabilitation. Downer also holds
statutory responsibility for the mine site.
The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said the contract extension was a clear demonstration of
Downer’s ability to deliver value for its customers.
“We are delighted to be continuing this 17-year partnership,” he said. “Downer has a strong record of
providing mining services to Millmerran Power Partners and helping it to drive efficiencies across its
operations. We look forward to extending our working relationship and continuing to deliver efficient solutions
for the Commodore mine,” Mr Fenn said.
The contract builds on Downer’s recent successes in the mining, energy and resources and
industrial sectors with the award of a $120 million mining services contract at the CSA mine in New South
Wales, a five-year maintenance and support services contract at the Chevron-operated Gorgon and
Wheatstone facilities in Western Australia, and a $660 million underground mining services contract at the
Carrapateena copper gold mine in South Australia.
