WA Defence Capital and Estate Works Update
Presented in Perth – 15 December 2025

This briefing provides a grounded, data-driven overview of the Defence capital and estate works pipeline in Western Australia, based on the latest publicly available information and industry signals as at December 2025.

Western Australia now carries close to $16 billion in Defence infrastructure investment, with HMAS Stirling alone accounting for more than $13 billion. This session breaks down where that money is actually flowing, what has shifted since mid-2025, and which parts of the pipeline are firm versus speculative.

Topics covered in this presentation include:
• Changes in approved and unapproved Defence capital investment across WA
• Why HMAS Stirling is now the most heavily funded Defence base in Australia
• Near-term and long-term outlooks for RAAF Learmonth, Harold E Holt, Curtin, Pearce, Campbell Barracks and Irwin Barracks
• The impact of the Defence Infrastructure Panel and the Major Construction Panel on market access
• Why AusTender is no longer a reliable proxy for opportunity visibility
• Indigenous procurement pathways and what they mean for tender timing
• Head contractor, managing contractor and design services opportunities expected in 2026
• Subcontracting opportunities tied to SRF-West, Project Phoenix and EO storage programs
• Estate Works, PDS transition and Base Services Transformation impacts in WA
• What “readiness” actually means in the Defence infrastructure market

This briefing is intended for consultants, contractors, suppliers and service providers who need a realistic view of where Defence work in WA is moving, not just where it has been announced.

The key message is simple: Defence is moving faster, publishing less, and expecting higher readiness from industry. Businesses that rely on reactive bidding will struggle. Those that invest early in visibility, relationships and positioning will not.
