Following a competitive tender process to deliver the initial $1.8b Capital Works Program for TasWater, an alliance formed between TasWater, CPB Contractors Limited and UGL Limited (both members of the CIMIC Group) with support from WSP Australia, became known as the TasWater Capital Delivery Office (CDO). The CDO is also known more widely outside Tasmania, as the TasWater Alliance.
- The TasWater Capital Delivery Office commenced operations on 1 July 2019.
- The Alliance Agreement is in place to to supply major infrastructure water and sewerage upgrades for TasWater, their stakeholders, and the communities of Tasmania through until mid-2025.
- Some projects within the CDO remit will be in delivery as at mid- 2025, these will continue under CDO management on for another year or more. E.G The Selfs Point Sewerage Treatment Plant expansion and elements of the Tamar Estuary River Health Action Plan (TERHAP) Project and associated works.
- More than 50 percent of the roles within the TasWater CDO are held by TasWater employees which reflects the Alliance commitment to leaving a legacy for TasWater for years to come.
The Alliance is led by Ian Dunbabin, Alliance Program Manager.
