Downer awarded contract extension

DOWNER EDI has secured a $286 million contract extension to provide additional services at Milmerran Power Partners’ Commodore open cut coal mine.

The five-year extension included operating and managing the mine, mine planning and design, drill and blast, rehabilitation and more until August 2024.

“We are delighted to be continuing this 17-year partnership,” Downer chief executive Grant Fenn said.

The deal followed Downer’s recent contract wins, including a $120 million contract at the CSA mine in NSW, and $660 million underground mining services contract at Carrapateena.
