Project value: A$2.4 billion

The Peron Group was commissioned to provide strategic leadership and project management expertise to this project in order to meet time and political imperatives during a period of severe drought in SE Queensland. The project is being procured through five alliances – three providing advanced water treatment plants and two providing more than 200km of large diameter pipelines. The project forms a key component of an SEQ water grid, and is part of the Government’s strategy to ensure sustainable water supplies to the region, together with institutional and pricing arrangements.

Peron was originally retained to review and modify the scope of work of the alliances so as to meet regulated target dates and contain the overall cost. Peron then managed the transition of the project from the Department of Infrastructure and Planning to Western Corridor Recycled Water Pty Ltd, a special purpose vehicle, and the associated commercial, management and governance arrangements. Peron continues to provide commercial and strategic advice.
