Let’s take a trip back to 1992 🔙

Australia was buzzing for the upcoming Cricket World Cup, and John Holland was about to deliver something extraordinary.

We completed the now-iconic MCG Great Southern Stand, transforming the ‘G into one of the world’s largest and most spectacular sporting venues.

With 14,000 precast components, 36km of hollow core planks, and over 5000 tonnes of steel, the stand was ready in time to host world’s best cricketers at the 1992 Cricket World Cup.

The effort even earned us the Australian Federation of Construction Contractors Achievement Award.

Fast forward to today, and the now-named Shane Warne Stand will once again roar to life as Australia takes on England in the Ashes.

It’s a reminder of the legacy we helped build. A stand that has witnessed generations of unforgettable moments.

What’s your favourite memory from the Great Southern Stand?

We’re part of another city-shaping rail project for Melbourne! 🚆

We’re thrilled to announce our Linewide Alliance – a team made up of John Holland, KBR, WSP, Alstom and RATP Dev - has been selected to deliver the transformative Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East Linewide package.

With a proven track record in delivering complex line-wide rail systems, including Sydney Metro Northwest in 2019 and the Metro Tunnel in Melbourne, we’re ready to help deliver this transformative project for Victoria.

This fully tunnelled 26-kilometre twin tunnel metro line will connect Cheltenham in the south to Box Hill in the north, with six new stations transforming how Melburnians travel.

Over the next 10 years, we’ll deliver tunnel fitout works, traction power, communications systems, network control and signalling, rolling stock, depot and maintenance facilities and the overall system integration.

And from 2035 to 2050, we’ll operate and maintain the new metro line with RATP Dev as part of a 15-year franchise.

The SRL East will include six stations, including key interchanges with existing stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Glen Waverley, and Box Hill, plus brand-new stations at Monash and Burwood.

We’re proud to partner with the Victorian Government on this landmark project, and to continue delivering world-class rail and transport solutions across Australia.

Celebrating a winning partnership with @fitzroystarsfnc! 🌟

For over 50 years, the Fitzroy Stars has been at the heart of the Victorian First Nations community. We’re incredibly proud to have partnered with this iconic club for the past four years, supporting their vital work both on and off the field.

And what a year it’s been! Our partnership supported 70 men and 35 women to play football, 40 women to play netball and 135 boys and girls to play netball.

Off the field, we hosted two career events at the club with our Yarra Trams partnership, and project representatives from Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury - Tranche 2, the Eastern Freeway - Hoddle to Burke Alliance, North West Program Alliance and the Beveridge Intermodal Precinct - Stage 1A.

These sessions help kickstart interest in construction and transport careers, as well as offering the opportunity for Stars players to meet the people behind our projects, the impact of which was evident from feedback at our women’s session:

“They used to be a big scary company, but they are actually nice genuine people”

And on the field the teams were kicking goals.

✅ The Senior Men’s Football team, led by former AFL star Eddie Betts, won their first flag since joining the Northern Football Netball League in 2008 and their first senior premiership since 1990.

✅ The Reserves Men and Senior Women Football teams both reached the Grand Final.

✅ Two Senior Netball teams made the finals, with one taking home the premiership.

Together, we’re transforming lives by creating opportunities, fostering inclusion, and building brighter futures for communities across Australia. Here’s to another great year!

Major construction has officially begun on the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) rail upgrade in Queensland!

In partnership with @SeymourWhyte, we’ve started work at the future Barrs Road overpass in Glass House Mountains.

Over the next few months, this area will be transformed to prepare for new project infrastructure, with progress continuing along the rail alignment early next year.

This critical upgrade will unlock greater capacity and reliability on the North Coast Line, enhancing passenger and freight connections across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, and beyond.

The stage 1 scope includes duplicating the rail line between Beerburrum and Beerwah, straightening the rail line between Beerburrum and Glass House Mountains, constructing four new road bridges, upgrading park ‘n’ ride facilities at Beerburrum, and more.

This project will deliver smarter connections and reliable travel for Sunshine Coast communities. We’re excited to get started!

Two and a half years. Thousands of lifts. And a team that keeps going!

The Darwin barge has headed off for a well-earned break after completing an extraordinary body of work to deliver @waterfrontbrisbane's new Riverwalk.

It’s not over yet, but in the past two and a half years, the barge has supported more than 10,000 crane lifts and moved over 15,000 tonnes of material to help deliver this significant upgrade to Brisbane’s riverfront.

Along the way, we’ve installed 383 tonnes of steel reinforcement, poured 3,064 cubic metres of concrete, set 133 piles and installed 108 beams, 238 planks and 74 skirts to bring this vision to life.

A huge shout out to Fitzgerald Constructions and our Waterfront Brisbane team for their incredible work!

Transforming Australia’s supply chain 🛤️📦

We’re thrilled to be named the main contractor for Stage 1 of the Beveridge Intermodal Precinct - a major milestone in delivering Australia’s largest and most advanced logistics hub!

This project will transform how goods are moved across the country, making freight transport more efficient and significantly lowering the cost of getting products into homes across Australia.

The new terminal will be Melbourne’s first that is capable of receiving double-stacked Inland Rail trains, setting the foundation for a more sustainable and streamlined supply chain.

Backed by decades of experience delivering rail infrastructure, our world-class Rail and Transport team is ready to make it happen. We’ll also be drawing on our experience from delivering the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct in NSW last year.

We’re gearing up to start site preparation and construction in the new year and look forward to working with National Intermodal to bring this vision to life!

🛤️ 93km of upgraded rail network
🚆 9km twin tunnels connecting the east and west of Melbourne
🚉 5 world-class underground stations built
🏙️ 1 city-shaping project delivered.

The @metrotunnelvic is officially open!

This is the biggest transformation to Melbourne’s public transport network since the City Loop opened over 40 years ago, and we’re so proud to have been part of it from start to finish.

From tunnelling deep under Melbourne’s CBD and building five iconic underground stations to delivering complex rail systems and operating trains, this project is a true showcase of what John Holland does best.

Our Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) and Rail Network Alliance (RNA) teams made it all possible, and the journey continues with our CYP Asset Management Services team keeping the tunnels and stations running smoothly for the next 23 years.

A big thank you to the Victorian Government, our project partners, subcontractors and suppliers for helping us deliver something truly transformational for Melbourne.

We couldn’t be prouder to see people enjoy the Metro Tunnel and new stations for the first time!
