CIMIC company CPB Contractors has been selected by Australia Pacific Airports (Melbourne) to deliver stage two of the Melbourne Airport Naarm Way Project, encompassing a road and forecourt works. This is the second project that CPB Contractors is delivering at Melbourne Airport, having been awarded the Qantas T1 Security and Screening Project in December 2023. The two projects will generate revenue of approximately $260 million for CPB Contractors.

With passenger numbers at the airport expected to double to nearly 76 million by 2042, these critical works will futureproof landside passenger and freight access, providing a more enjoyable customer experience. The scope of work for stage two of the Melbourne Airport Road and Forecourt project includes construction of a new 18-metre-wide pedestrian bridge and gateway from the T123 carpark to the terminals, forecourt reconfiguration, a new vertical transport hub, and reconfiguration of the T123 carpark. The project is set for completion in late-2026.
