Downer has a long standing relationship with the Logan City Council dating back to the Logan Water Alliance, which delivered $302 million of infrastructure from 2009 to 2014.
It also worked on the Logan Water Infrastructure Alliance which is delivering around $435 million of infrastructure between 2014 and 2020.
This contract replaces the Logan Water Infrastructure Alliance and will continue to be delivered in collaboration with a fully integrated LCC team and sub-alliance partners WSP and Cardno.
