Bede Noonan, ACCIONA’s CEO in Australia & New Zealand, said “We are thrilled to continue our work for WSA to deliver critical public infrastructure that will provide jobs and economic opportunities for Western Sydney. This award is testament to our strong partnership with CPB, whose experience in delivering Brisbane’s new runway complements our pavements expertise for this job perfectly.”

“Our ongoing engagement with WSA is evidence of the hard work and strong performance of our consortium and the trust that WSA has in us to deliver this critical runway package.”
