Industry and Employment
The AWD project will be transformational for South Australia’s economy. Huge economic benefits will flow, conservatively estimated in excess of $1.4 billion over the next 10 years.
Over 3000 direct and indirect jobs will be created – ranging from highly skilled trades through to naval architects, engineers, project managers, systems engineers and integrators. Concentration of these skills in Adelaide provides a critical advantage in attracting future defence projects.
The AWD project provides significant opportunities for local companies to compete for contracts to support:
- infrastructure construction
- ship consolidation, and
- property development.
