Gamuda Bhd’s joint venture with BMD Constructions has won a A$624 million contract from Transport for New South Wales to upgrade Elizabeth Drive and Mamre Road in Western Sydney. The project, scheduled for completion by 2030, aims to enhance transport connectivity and freight movement in the rapidly developing region near the new Western Sydney International Airport.

Gamuda Bhd’s joint venture with Australian construction firm BMD Constructions Pty Ltd has secured a A$624 million (approximately RM1.8 billion) contract from Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) to undertake a significant road upgrade project in Western Sydney. The agreement, announced on September 21, involves the Elizabeth Drive Upgrade–Mamre Road Upgrade Stage 2 project.

The joint venture, equally owned by Gamuda Engineering Pty Ltd (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Gamuda) and BMD, will share the contract value equally. Gamuda’s effective 50% share amounts to A$312 million, or around RM908 million.

The scope of work includes design and construction services for upgrading 4.5 kilometers of Elizabeth Drive and 3 kilometers of Mamre Road in the Kemps Creek area of Western Sydney. The project also encompasses related civil and structural works, along with utility relocations. Construction is set to begin immediately with a target completion year of 2030.

This contract is part of a broader initiative valued at approximately A$2 billion, jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments. Gamuda highlighted that the project supports its expanding portfolio of infrastructure projects in New South Wales, underscoring the confidence that TfNSW places in the joint venture’s execution capabilities.

Currently, Gamuda has several ongoing road projects in the state, including the Coffs Harbour Bypass, M1 Pacific Motorway Extension from Black Hill to Tomago, and the Richmond Road M7 Upgrade. The company noted that the Western Sydney region, where this project is based, is rapidly developing, particularly with the imminent completion of the Western Sydney International Airport later this year.

The upgrades are expected to improve transport network resilience, enhance public transport connectivity, and strengthen freight movement within Western Sydney. Gamuda indicated that these improvements align with anticipated growth and increased investment in the area’s road infrastructure.

The company further stated that the project will contribute positively to Gamuda Group’s revenue and earnings throughout its duration.
