The AUD15.8 billion (USD10.6 billion) project will connect key growth areas in Melbourne, improve transport connections and enhance local infrastructure. After more than a year of dedicated planning and collaboration, Blue Water has been selected to provide a comprehensive range of logistics services. This includes warehouse management services, warehouse management systems and transportation from the warehouse to the project site.

The North East Link project is being delivered by the Spark Consortium, a group of contractors and operators including WeBuild, GS Engineering and Construction, and CPB Contractors. The construction started in 2022 and is expected to be completed by 2028. Blue Water said that it is looking forward to beginning its involvement in this contract.

“Securing the logistics contract for the North East Link project is a testament to our commitment to providing be-spoke solutions to meet the unique requirements of major infrastructure projects. We look forward to contributing to such a transformational project,” said Rebecca Peat, state manager Vic/Tas at Blue Water.
