TasWater plans about A$1.2 billion of capital investment over 2026–2030, and it now buys that work through seven delivery frameworks after the alliance agreements behind its Capital Delivery Office expired on 30 June 2025. The utility spent A$371.7 million on capital works in FY 2024-25 alone.
Who is in, and who is still to be named
The seven frameworks cover engineering and design, major projects, medium projects, renewals, plant refurbishments, technology upgrades and metering. GHD was appointed to the Engineering, Planning and Design Framework in October 2025, worth A$100 million over about ten years. The Medium Projects Framework, for pipelines, pump stations and dam-related infrastructure, closed its first tender stage on 12 March 2026 with at least three delivery partners intended; no appointments have been published.
The old alliance is finishing up
The Capital Delivery Office, which used UGL and CPB as alliance partners, is completing existing work only. Among that work, the Selfs Point Sewer Transformation in Hobart has completed its pipeline and is due to complete construction in early to mid 2027.
Less to share than TasWater asked for
The Tasmanian Economic Regulator allowed A$1,175.1 million of capital expenditure for 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, against A$1,573.5 million proposed. TasWater has since deferred about A$500 million of works and has not named the projects. It briefed industry on the programme in Devonport, Launceston and Bellerive on 20–22 July 2026.
