PROBUILD UPDATE


In November 2018, Downer EDI Limited (Downer) entered into contracts with Probuild Constructions

(Australia) Pty Ltd (Probuild) for the provision of mechanical and electrical services for the new Victoria

Police building in Melbourne.


On 23 February 2022 Probuild appointed an Administrator.


Downer achieved Practical Completion of its services on 9 July 2020 with the defect liability period ending on

9 July 2022. There are outstanding claims which are unpaid by Probuild, of which approximately $30 million

has been recognised by Downer and recovery is now subject to risk due to the administration.


On 21 July 2020, Downer announced the exit of non-core businesses, including the higher risk construction

markets in the Infrastructure and Construction business, and no longer provides mechanical and electrical

construction services to the commercial sector.


As the Probuild administration process progresses, Downer will assess whether there is any potential

financial impact on Downer and will keep the market updated.



Authorised for release by Downer’s Chief Executive Officer, Grant Fenn.
