DJILANG ALLIANCE AWARDED VICTORIAN RAIL CONTRACT


Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced that the Djilang Alliance had been awarded a contract by

Rail Projects Victoria to deliver the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication project as part of the

Regional Rail Revival program. The Djilang Alliance is a joint venture between Downer, McConnell Dowell,

Arup and WSP.


The alliance contract will generate revenue to Downer of approximately $270 million.


Under the contract, Djilang Alliance will duplicate approximately eight kilometres of track, build elevated rail

bridges to replace level crossings at Fyans Street and the Surf Coast Highway, and undertake signalling

upgrades. The project also includes new station buildings at Marshall and South Geelong with landscaped

forecourts, second platforms and accessible pedestrian overpasses.


The South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication project extends Downer’s involvement in the Regional Rail

Revival program, which is

upgrading every regional passenger rail line in Victoria. In May 2022, Downer

commissioned the Waurn Ponds Station upgrade, which included a new second platform, duplicated track,

pedestrian overpass and additional car parking. Downer is also continuing work on Stage 1 of the

Warrnambool Line Upgrade project and the new stabling and maintenance facility at Waurn Ponds.


The Chief Executive Officer of Downer Group, Grant Fenn, said Downer had a long and successful history of

safely delivering rail infrastructure projects for its customers.


“We look forward to working closely with our joint venture partners and Rail Projects Victoria to deliver this

important infrastructure to the growing region of Geelong,” Mr Fenn said.


Major construction will commence later this year, with a target completion date of late-2024.



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