WA’s RAAF Base Gingin will receive $7.7 million for maintenance works to its airfield, supporting Australian Defence Force (ADF) capability while maximising opportunities for local businesses.
Fulton Hogan Industries Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract to undertake aircraft pavement and aeronautical ground lighting works at the military airfield.
The construction workforce is predicted to peak at about 80 personnel per day, creating a range of opportunities for local businesses.
Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price said this was the third works package to be delivered under the $149 million National Airfields Capital Works Project, which was ensuring the ADF can continue to meet its operational requirements.

A total of 148,000 square metres of road surfaces will be resealed this year, after Council awarded a tender for the works at its meeting on Wednesday 10 February.

The contract for the works was awarded to Fulton Hogan Industries Pty Ltd for the total sum of $930,136.15 (excluding GST), following a tender process in 2020.
