FLEETWOOD has won the $36 million contract for Queensland’s COVID quarantine centre.
Under the subcontract arrangement, Fleetwood will utilise its manufacturing facilities in Queensland, New South Wales and Melbourne to build modular accommodation units as part of the Australian Government’s plan to deliver the Centre for National Resilience Brisbane by March 2022.
The facility will be built and owned by the federal government and operated by the Queensland government for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This win comes hot on the heels of Fleetwood securing Victoria’s $32 million contract in September.
CEO Bruce Nicholson said: “We are delighted to be playing a key role in the Australian Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and more broadly Australia’s road to recovery.
“This contract award demonstrates our unique ability to leverage our national footprint, having used the lessons learned from the recently awarded major contract for part of the Centre for National Resilience Melbourne. We look forward to partnering with Multiplex to deliver this important initiative for the Australian and Queensland governments.”
