DOWNER SELECTED AS PREFERRED CONTRACTOR FOR PERTH’S METRONET
Downer EDI Limited (Downer), as a member of the NEWest Alliance, has been selected as preferred
contractor to deliver the Yanchep Rail Extension and the Thornlie – Cockburn Link, part of Perth’s
METRONET program.

The project will be delivered in a joint venture partnership with CPB Contractors, part of CIMIC Group and
will be delivered under an alliance-style contract. Project funding is through the Western Australian state and
Australian federal governments.

The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said Downer had a long and successful history of safely
delivering transport infrastructure projects for its customers.

“We are pleased that our expertise in the design and construction of heavy rail, tracks, stations and rail
bridges has been recognised,” Mr Fenn said.

“We look forward to working with our partners to deliver this important project for the Western Australian
Government and the people of Perth.”

Downer’s scope of work includes railway construction, relocation of freight lines, station platform extensions,
station construction and other station modifications, construction of new road-over-rail bridges and other
associated work.

Work will commence immediately on design, with construction expected to commence May 2020. The
project is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

Downer is also currently delivering Stage 1 of the Parramatta Light Rail project in a 50:50 joint venture with
CPB Contractors for the NSW Government.
