Mallesons has acted for the senior financiers and mezzanine financiers to the AquaSure Consortium appointed by the Victorian Government to design, finance, construct and operate Australia’s largest desalination plant. The transaction is set to be one of the largest PPPs closed this year. According to lead Mallesons Partner on the transaction, Jeff Clark, a project of this size required complex financing arrangements in the current economic environment. “The transaction involved separate financing for different parts of the project with State support being provided to maximise the debt available to finance the project,” Mr Clark said. “The AquaSure consortium was able to attract a large group of financiers from around the world to participate in a novel financing structure which will be sure to set a benchmark for future projects. We are proud to have been involved in this landmark transaction,” he said. The Mallesons team also included partners James Forrest, Louis Chiam, David Wood and Jonathan Oldham. |
