Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced that it had been selected as the preferred applicant to
deliver the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP), the largest investment in new rollingstock in
Queensland history.

The QTMP is a state-shaping project, which will support rail manufacturing in Queensland, as well as the
Cross River Rail project and the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Under the contract, Downer will deliver:
 Design, manufacture and commissioning of 65 six-car passenger trains
 Design and build of two training simulators
 Design, construction and commissioning of a purpose-built train manufacturing facility at Torbanlea,
in the Fraser Coast region
 Design, construction and commissioning of a maintenance facility and stabling yards at Ormeau, in
the Gold Coast region
 Maintenance of the new rollingstock fleet, simulators and the Ormeau maintenance facility for an
initial term of 15 years and a maximum term of 35 years.

Revenue to Downer will be finalised at contract execution, which is expected to occur in the coming months.

The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said the contract would cement Downer’s position as the
largest passenger rollingstock maintainer in Australia for the next 30 years.

“Downer is the leading provider of rollingstock asset management services, with more than 100 years’
experience delivering rail solutions for our customers across Australia,” Mr Fenn said.

“With the addition of the new Queensland fleet, Downer will manage the largest rollingstock fleets in each
State on Australia’s Eastern seaboard. Downer has successfully delivered a total of 119 Waratah trains for
the New South Wales Government across Series 1 and Series 2 trains, and is currently more than halfway
through completion of 70 new High Capacity Metro Trains for the Victorian Government.

“Downer is proud to be part of this project, which will change the way people travel around South East
Queensland.

“We look forward to working closely with the Department of Transport and Main Roads to deliver this critical
project for the people of Queensland.”
