Ventia secures five-year extension contract for Australian Marine Complex-Common User Facility in Perth

Ventia has operated the AMC-CUF on behalf of the Western Australian State Government since mid-2022. The facility is developing into a key national hub for shipbuilding and maritime sustainment, supporting both large scale industry and Australiaʼs sovereign Defence capability.

This contract extension reinforces Ventiaʼs role in managing critical common-use infrastructure and positions Ventia to support both the Western Australian Governmentʼs strategic infrastructure priorities and the Commonwealthʼs long-term Defence objectives at Henderson, including future growth opportunities aligned to the precinctʼs development.

“Securing this extension reflects the strength of our performance at AMC-CUF,” according to managing director and group chief executive officer Dean Banks.

“Henderson is a critical hub for Australiaʼs maritime capability, and we are well positioned to support its next phase and to capture future opportunities as they develop.

“Our focus is on delivering safe, reliable and efficient operations while working closely with Government, Defence and industry to support long-term capability outcomes.”
