John Holland to deliver Inland Rail from Illabo to Stockinbingal

Delivering Canberra’s next stage of light rail through integrated civil and rail capability🚉🚈

Canberra Light Rail Stage 2A is taking visible shape day by day as our rail and civil teams work side by side to deliver this project.

The collaborative approach is showing in the ongoing progress on site, highlighted by successful installation of a mega 775-tonne rail bridge over Parkes Way earlier this year.

The team has also completed major utility upgrades across the 1.7km extension, installing 27.5km of power and communications conduits and 5km of new drainage to strengthen resilience against extreme weather.

Our in-house Rail Services team is delivering key elements of the work, bringing greater certainty to how the project is delivered.

Track slab pours and rail installation are now underway, and stops are taking shape along the corridor.

And behind it all is a growing team, with more than 750 local jobs created and over 900,000 hours worked to deliver the next stage of Canberra’s light rail network.

It’s a strong example of how we bring our integrated capability together to deliver with confidence.

Queensland’s healthcare is in good hands 🏥

Our Queensland building team is transforming healthcare infrastructure across the state while keeping critical services running. It’s complex work, delivered in live hospital environments where there’s no room for disruption.

We recently celebrated the opening of Mater Hospital Springfield, with 186 public beds and the region’s first emergency department now accepting patients in one of the state’s fastest growing communities.

At the Princess Alexandra Hospital Expansion, we’ve recently topped out the additional four floors that will deliver 249 new beds to one of Queensland’s busiest hospitals.

Work at the new Toowoomba Hospital continues, while Stage 2 of the Logan Hospital Expansion is set to add 112 new beds following the successful delivery of Stage 1 in 2024.

This experience is why we’re trusted to deliver the critical healthcare facilities Queenslanders depend on every day.

699 girders later, the Hunter region’s missing link is almost complete 👀🌉

A major milestone has been reached on the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace, with the final girder installed on the 2.6-kilometre viaduct.

The viaduct will become the Hunter region’s longest bridge structure, spanning the Hunter River and floodplain, Main North Rail Line and New England Highway to create a vital connection between Black Hill and Tomago.

Our John Holland - Gamuda project team has done a remarkable job building a structure of this complexity.

A total of 699 locally manufactured precast concrete girders have been installed across the viaduct to form the bridge’s primary structural supports.

With the final girder now in place, the team is finalising bridge deck pours and barriers ahead of road surfacing and finishing works.

This milestone brings the project closer to delivering a safer and more reliable connection, helping ease congestion, improve traffic flow and reduce pressure on the surrounding road network.

We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with @transportfornsw to deliver this transformational road project for the Hunter region.

Few engineers have left a bigger mark on Australia than Sir John Holland AC.

Today we remember our founder and one of Australia’s most decorated civil engineers on what would have been his 112th birthday.

In 1949, Sir John started our company with a modest £200 contract to build a woolshed in rural Victoria. That "can-do" spirit laid the foundation for an engineering legacy that would shape the nation, delivering iconic projects like Canberra’s Parliament House, the Darwin to Alice Railway and Sydney’s WestConnex M4 tunnels.

But of all the mega-projects delivered during Sir John's tenure, none made him prouder than building the company itself.

Today, his legacy lives on in the way we deliver Australia’s most complex infrastructure projects – with skill, determination and a passion for engineering excellence.

Getting around Western Sydney just became faster and easier 🚗🛣️

The new M7-M12 Interchange is now open!

The interchange is the final piece of our region-shaping M7-M12 Integration project and will provide easy access to the new Western Sydney International Airport in a major boost to Western Sydney’s road network.

Delivered ahead of schedule and on budget while keeping one of Sydney’s busiest motorways moving, it’s another example of the smart thinking we bring to complex infrastructure challenges.

Using a method that allowed bridges to be built and launched incrementally over live traffic, our team constructed seven new bridges to form the interchange while keeping around 180,000 motorists moving on the M7 every day.

That includes the longest incrementally launched curved road bridge in Australia, featuring both vertical and horizontal curves, alongside key connections linking traffic seamlessly between the M7 and M12.

We also widened the M7 to three lanes in each direction along a 26-kilometre stretch between Richmond Road and the M5 Motorway, upgrading 41 bridges along the corridor.

The result is less congestion, safer journeys and stronger freight links across the region, with up to 13 minutes saved on southbound trips from Marsden Park to Liverpool.

A big thank you to the NSW Government, Northwestern Roads Group and our project partners and contractors for helping us deliver a project that will transform how Western Sydney moves for decades 👏

We have a long history working across Western Australia’s rail infrastructure, which includes supporting one of the state’s key industries and keeping millions of tonnes of iron ore moving from mine to port every year.

That experience was brought to the 290Mtpa Program for our client BHP, where we worked as a true delivery partner to increase capacity across a live, high-frequency, heavy haul rail network without interrupting operations.

Delivered on time and on budget in a live brownfield environment, we lifted iron ore output beyond the current capacity, improved reliability and modernised key infrastructure to support long-term performance of the network and safer ore car staging.

It’s a project that reflects more than just delivery. It shows what can be achieved through close collaboration, with a shared focus on improving the efficiency, safety and sustainability of BHP’s rail network.

That work has now been recognised with a nomination as one of the finalists for the Customer Service Award at this year’s #RailIndustryAwards.

A great achievement for our WA rail team, and a reflection of the trusted relationships they’ve built across the region.

We’ve officially topped out the western grandstand at Penrith Stadium! 🏟️

With the structural framework for both grandstands now in place, this marks a major milestone for the project and a proud moment for our team and construction partners delivering the new stadium for Western Sydney.

When complete, the western grandstand will deliver upgraded player facilities including changerooms and recovery pools, along with modern media and broadcast spaces, corporate suites and flexible function areas.

Fans can also expect expanded food and beverage options, improved amenities and a venue designed to support events year-round.

Fit-out works are now progressing across both grandstands, with the eastern grandstand roof nearing completion and pre-assembly of the western grandstand roof continuing at ground level.

A big step forward on this iconic stadium project proudly funded by the @nswgov.
