Construction update
Subject to the Australian Energy Regulator’s approval, the proposed construction of the HumeLink route will occur in two sections (east and west). These two partners are joint ventures (JV) and are as follows:
- HumeLink East: Acciona Construction Australia Pty Ltd and Genus Infrastructure (NSW) Pty Ltd (AG JV); and
- HumeLink West: UGL Engineering Pty Ltd and CPB Contractors Pty Ltd (UGL-CPB JV).
The delivery partner contracts are structured in two stages, with early works to begin immediately and finish in 2024, including detailed design, investigations, procurement and project mobilisation. The second stage comprises main construction works and will begin after all project approvals have been granted and the final investment decision is made.
Both delivery partners bring advanced technical expertise to the project, along with a clear commitment to investing in local communities through Indigenous employment and business opportunities for local suppliers, as well as training and education to support the clean energy industry and jobs of the future.
You may shortly see these delivery partners in the community as they begin their site investigations and seek to build relationships directly with landowners, communities, local businesses and stakeholders.
Following the determination of the Environmental Impact Statement and the completion of detailed design, they will have a growing presence in the community and will look to work closely with the broader community and Transgrid to consult and collaborate on this nation-critical project.
