There is also an intent to maximise Local and Indigenous Industry participation.

• Feb 24 – Delivery Phase Approval – inclusive of all Defence, Government and parliamentary approvals
• Sep 28 – Completion of the last Stage of Works
• Sep 29 – End of last Defence Liability Period

General Information on Project

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not the first stage of a multi-stage procurement. In other words, potential tenderers that choose not to participate in this market sounding process will not be prevented from or disadvantaged in participating in the subsequent request for tender (RFT) process, if any.
