Brisbane North South Bypass Tunnel
Our team have been acting for RiverCity Motorway Consortium in its appointment as preferred bidder to the Brisbane City Council for the $1.9 billion North South Bypass Tunnel PPP. The project is a public private partnership between the Council and RiverCity Motorway for a four lane toll road involving a 4.7km tunnel. The North South Bypass Tunnel will provide a direct connection between Ipswich Road and the SE Freeway in Woolloongabba and the Inner City Bypass and Lutwyche Road in Bowen Hills. Our Brisbane and Sydney offices have been heavily involved in various aspects of the project during the bid stage and will be working with the consortium to finalise the deal with Brisbane City Council.
Darwin City Waterfront project
We acted for the Northern Territory Government on the $1 billion+ project to redevelop Darwin’s city waterfront. The Northern Territory Government’s objective was to transform 25 hectares of previously industrial waterfront land and adjacent waters into a world class development for Darwin people to use and enjoy and to enhance Darwin as a destination.
Chatswood Transport Interchange PPP project
We acted for the design and construction contractor, Barclay Mowlem, and the project underwriters, Babcock and Brown and Walker Corporation on this transaction. The project involves the redevelopment of the Chatswood Railway Station into a mixed use development comprising 10,000 square metres of retail and over 500 apartments integrated with the new railway station. The development is to occur without interruption to the busy existing rail service. Babcock and Brown and Walker Corporation underwrote the presale contract for the retail component and acquired the residential component and provided a mezzanine finance facility.

We acted for the Novacare Consortium in its initial bid, through the rebid process and its appointment as preferred bidder, to the final negotiations with government and completion.
