We’re thrilled to share that the EastLink Resurfacing Project has won the Victorian state award at the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) 2024! 🏆 Downer is incredibly proud to have been the delivery partner on this major $50M project, working alongside ConnectEast EastLink and Beca to resurface one of Melbourne’s most critical motorways. 🚗💨 With up to 250,000 vehicles using EastLink daily, minimising interruption for road users, improving its smoothness and increasing safety for the travelling public was all our top priority. Despite the challenges of night work and weather, we completed the project ahead of schedule in March 2024, with outstanding safety records and minimal impact on road users. The new surface is expected to last over 15 years, continuing to serve Melbourne’s eastern suburbs with the quality and safety that EastLink is known for. 🚧✅ A very well-deserved win, awesome work to our team in Victoria and everyone involved! 💪👏 👉 Learn more about this award-winning project here: https://bit.ly/3ZjAgUr #AIPMAwards2024 #ProjectManagement #Infrastructure #RoadSafety #EastLink #DownerGroup #ProudMoment #InnovationInAction

This year, Downer launched EmpowHER, our women’s network, which aims to create a supportive and inclusive space for women across our organization. The network’s inaugural event focused on self-confidence and self-development—the top request from our members. Elke Konrad from JLW Success Coaching shared her insights on being the leaders of our own lives, and overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Over 200 people attended the event, taking away some powerful learnings on the importance of understanding ourselves, mastering self-talk and recognising when imposter syndrome holds you from delivering your best. We believe in the power of community and EmpowHer is transforming how women connect and collaborate at Downer, offering a platform for sharing, guidance and professional growth. #Empower #EmpowHER #WomenNetwork #TheDownerDifference #InclusionBelonging #Selfdevelopment #Selfconfidence #Growth Kate Sherwood, Carly Gabel, Esther Lang, Murray Robertson, Maria Gatica, Veronika Dimitrova, Emma Gamblin, Pauline Marshall, Nikita Moore
