It's been a year of many firsts for Pacific Partnerships with some of the highlights including the successful delivery of New Zealand Schools, Canberra Light Rail and Sydney Metro Northwest into operations and winning new work with public private partnership (PPP) bids for Cross River Rail and Regional Rail.

Managing Director Martin D'Uva said: "Pacific Partnerships has had a strong year completing construction and commencing operations on three key assets and winning new major projects.

We're proud to be delivering value for our clients and we're improving the quality of life for millions of people living in the communities we serve with our vital infrastructure assets.

Sydney Metro, Australia’s biggest public transport project, opened to customers on 26 May 2019. Pacific Partnerships, CPB Contractors and UGL, as part of the Northwest Rapid Transit consortium, delivered the A$3.7 billion operations, trains and systems contract – the largest PPP ever awarded in NSW.

Canberra’s Light Rail Stage One was delivered in April 2019 under a PPP between the ACT Government and the Canberra Metro consortium which includes CIMIC Group companies Pacific Partnerships, CPB Contractors and UGL. The PPP is for approximately 23 years and includes the construction and operation of Stage One of the light rail network for 20 years.

CIMIC Group companies, Pacific Partnerships and CPB Contractors have delivered five new schools for more than 4,300 students with our ShapED consortium partners under the third New Zealand Schools PPP. Three new primary schools opened in January 2019: the Te Uho O Te Nikau Primary School and the Matua Ngaru School in Auckland and the Te Ao Mārama School in Hamilton. Two new high schools opened in April 2019: Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High School, in Christchurch.
