Sod turned on 29-storey Chevron HQ, thousands of jobs to be created

The Western Australian Government is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) to join the Infrastructure WA board, to provide independent advice on long-term infrastructure priorities.

Construction has begun on the new Chevron Australia headquarters in Elizabeth Quay, Perth, which is expected to create around 1200 jobs during development and construction, with major flow-on work for local contractors.

Brookfield Properties and Multiplex partnered with Chevron to develop the 29-storey tower, which will provide 57,000 square metres of office and retail space capable of housing 3000 people.

Chevron will be the anchor tenant for the building, which will also include a childcare centre, gym, retail and hospitality spaces.

The tower will cost $362 million to build and is expected to be completed by mid-2023.

Chevron is a major employer in Western Australia, operating the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities.

WA Premier Mark McGowan said the State Government is committed to making Elizabeth Quay as self-sustainable as possible, with a large permanent workforce.

“The new 29-storey tower will add to Perth’s skyline bringing with it more optimism to the property development sector. The build will create thousands of jobs during construction and cements Brookfield and Chevron’s long-term position in Perth,” he said.

“Key infrastructure projects like these signify long-term investment in Western Australia; they help drive growth, create jobs, draw more people into our city and boost our economy. It has been made possible through the successful collaboration of Brookfield, Chevron, Multiplex and the State Government.

“Creating jobs for Western Australians is my priority. I’m pleased to mark the construction of this job-creating development which will be here for many generations to come. This is a significant long-term investment into Perth and I would like to acknowledge celebrated builder Multiplex and developer Brookfield in working with Chevron to realise this major project.”
