Allens has advised government agency Main Roads Western Australia on its alliance agreement with a consortium of contractors on the expected $1 billion Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Access Project.
The project will comprise a major upgrade of road, rail and air infrastructure in and around Perth, including the consolidation of the city’s domestic and international airports. The federal and state governments will share financing responsibility for the project, which is expected to be completed by 2017.
Main Roads is now in negotiations with the consortium—Leighton Contractors Pty. Ltd., Georgiou Group Pty. Ltd., GHD Pty. Ltd., AECOM Australia Pty. Ltd., and BG&E Pty. Ltd.—to work out the final details of the contract before the end of the year.
Allens Perth partner Michael Hollingdale and Melbourne partner Anthony Arrow acted for Main Roads WA on the agreement. In-house lawyers from Leighton Contractors led negotiations on behalf of the consortium.
