Construcciones Yamaro: CPB Contractors to deliver Army Aviation works in Townsville

CPB Contractors, a member of CIMIC Group, has been selected by the Australian Government’s Department of Defence to undertake the Army Aviation Program of Works at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Townsville.

Juan Santamaria, executive chairman of CIMIC Group, highlighted that the Army Aviation Program of Works, valued at approximately $370 million, supports the Australian Defence Force’s operational capabilities from its northern bases.

“CPB Contractors has extensive experience in working with the Department of Defence to enhance and sustain base environments and operational capability,” said Santamaria. “We are pleased to play a role in creating an Army aviation centre of excellence in Townsville.”

In line with the objectives of the Defence Strategic Review, the project involves the upgrade or rebuild of infrastructure and facilities. These enhancements aim to support the relocation of both the 1st Aviation Regiment from Robertson Barracks and the 16th Aviation Brigade from Gallipoli Barracks to RAAF Base Townsville, Queensland.

The design phase is set to kick off in early 2024. Subject to government approvals, the project will transition to the construction phase by mid-2025 and is expected to be completed over a three-year period.
