DOWNER SIGNS INTERIM ALLIANCE AGREEMENT FOR NEW ZEALAND CYCLONE
RECOVERY WORKS

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced it had signed an Interim Alliance Agreement to support the
rebuilding of critical infrastructure following extensive damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle across the east
coast of New Zealand’s North Island.

The Interim Alliance participants are Downer, Fulton Hogan, Higgins, Waka Kotahi and KiwiRail. The
Agreement covers the mobilisation, planning and engineering phase. The second phase, to be finalised, will
involve the delivery of major civil construction activities including rebuilding roads, bridges and rail corridors
in the Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti regions.

Downer Group Chief Executive Officer, Peter Tompkins, said Downer was proud to be part of the recovery,
which would reconnect communities and improve New Zealand’s resilience to future extreme weather
events.

“Downer is committed to contributing its people, capabilities, experience and equipment to help restore and
strengthen critical infrastructure for East Coast communities as quickly as possible,” Mr Tompkins said.

Downer New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Murray Robertson, said: “Our New Zealand team is regularly
at the forefront of emergency response to natural disasters, and we will be working closely with our alliance
partners, local contractors and regional suppliers to deliver this critical rebuild project for the people of
Hawke's Bay and Tairāwhiti.”
