Common User Facility

Techport Australia will feature world-class common user shipbuilding facilities including a wharf, runway, dry berth, transfer system and Australia’s largest shiplift.

The State-owned and operated common user facility is spread over 6 hectares at the heart of Techport Australia and will play a key role in assisting ASC to build the state-of-the-art Air Warfare Destroyers.

The Common User Facility will provide flexible access to a range of companies, contractors and sub-contractors and indeed a range of projects in addition to the AWD program.

It is capable of supporting multiple projects concurrently and land is reserved for future expansion.

Construction is on schedule for completion in 2010.
