Eight Western Australian building suppliers and contractors have been recognised as part of the Department of Finance’s 2023 Supplier Awards, as outstanding contractors who have delivered non-residential project works.
Representatives from the successful businesses gathered at Djookanup, the Department of Finance’s office in Osborne Park where they were presented with their awards by WA Finance Minister Sue Ellery.
Minister Ellery congratulated all the 2023 Supplier Performance Awards winners for their exceptional service to the WA government and the community.
“Our government is leading one of the most ambitious infrastructure development programs in the nation and despite the challenges faced in the current market, these recognised WA builders and contractors continue to deliver world-class outcomes for our state.”
Winners this year have delivered projects throughout Western Australia including schools, hospitals, emergency services buildings and laboratories, while managing ongoing challenges in the building and construction industry.
Minister Ellery said: “Projects delivered by these award winners include new primary and secondary schools, upgrades to TAFE facilities plus upgrades to health facilities and emergency services facilities.”
These projects form part of the WA government’s $524 million worth of non-residential infrastructure projects delivered by the WA Department of Finance in 2022-2023.
The Department of Finance’s 2023 Supplier Awards serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the exemplary performance and commitment of the recipients to providing high quality outcomes, despite current construction challenges.
