If you're a Kimberley business and the paperwork is what's stopping you, that's the part we help with. If you're a contractor pricing one of these from out of town, that's the other part.

The WA & Kimberley project pipeline, 2026–2027.
Major public and private investment is building a substantial pipeline of infrastructure, energy and community projects across WA and the Kimberley. The opportunity isn't just to wait for the tender — it's to see where the work is coming from early enough to position for it.
Last reviewed August 2026. Figures below are as announced or budgeted at time of writing — treat them as indicative and verify current status against the linked source.
In short: track government infrastructure programs and major project announcements, then map the contractor, subcontractor, logistics and support-service opportunities they create. The strongest opportunity for a Kimberley business is often not the headline project itself — it's the enabling works, subcontracting, logistics, accommodation, equipment, labour and maintenance that sit around it.
Western Australian infrastructure investment
$38bn state infrastructure pipeline
The WA Government's 2025 State Infrastructure Programme identifies a $38 billion pipeline over four years across hospitals, schools, community facilities, transport and utilities — creating demand well beyond the head contracts, in civil works, plant, transport, accommodation, labour and maintenance.
$10.3bn regional WA pipeline
$10.3 billion of that is earmarked for regional WA over four years — enough secondary activity for local civil contractors, logistics providers, workshops, accommodation and equipment-hire businesses to participate in delivery, not just the principal contractor.
$1bn Strategic Industries Fund
The Strategic Industries Fund has been increased to $1 billion, backing strategic industrial areas and infrastructure for emerging industries — green energy, manufacturing and downstream processing among them.
Kimberley & North West megaprojects
$22bn Australian Renewable Energy Hub
Planned across roughly 6,500km² in the East Pilbara. The Kimberley Development Commission puts it at an estimated $22 billion, with around 20,000 jobs expected across a 10-year construction period — manufacturing, equipment supply, construction, logistics and infrastructure. It sits in the Pilbara rather than the Kimberley, but its scale makes it relevant to North West supply chains servicing it from a Kimberley base or in partnership with Pilbara contractors.
$64m Great Northern Highway & Pinga Street
A new four-way interchange, bridges and access infrastructure tied to Lumsden Point and over-size over-mass vehicle movements, completing in 2026. Projects that improve heavy-haul and OSOM connectivity are a useful early signal of coming demand for transport, heavy equipment support, maintenance and accommodation.
Broome capital works, 2026/27
$41.2 million capital works program. The Shire of Broome's 2026/27 Budget includes $41.2 million in capital works, more than 60% externally grant-funded — including the $23.5 million Walmanyjun Cable Beach Foreshore Redevelopment (Stage 2), the $2.2 million Old Broome Road upgrade, and ongoing investment in roads, recreation and community infrastructure.

Local capital works matter because they create room for businesses without the scale or project history for a major package — civil and earthworks subcontracting, traffic management, plant hire, haulage, electrical and mechanical services, labour hire, site services, materials supply, waste management, accommodation, and Aboriginal and local business participation. The question isn't just who won the project — it's what work needs to happen around it, and who's positioned to deliver it. See how this has played out on past Kimberley projects →

Four levels of opportunity — and why timing matters.
Treat the pipeline as a positioning opportunity, not a list of tenders to wait for. By the time a major project reaches open tender, much of the procurement decision has already happened informally — through market engagement, contractor selection and supply-chain planning.
1. Principal contractors
Identify who's likely to win the major construction, civil, energy, mining and infrastructure packages, and build relationships before tenders are released wherever you can.
2. Subcontracting
Work out which packages are likely to be subcontracted locally or regionally, and have a concise capability statement ready — location, capacity, equipment, workforce, experience, mobilisation.
3. Enabling services
Look past the construction scope. Major projects need accommodation, transport, freight, equipment, labour, maintenance, fabrication, waste services, security, catering, facilities, and environmental and professional services.
4. Local content & regional delivery
A credible local presence is commercially valuable where project owners and principal contractors are seeking regional participation — local workforce, Indigenous engagement, mobilisation capacity, safety systems, insurances and relevant experience. More on local content & participation →
The opportunity window: Identify → Map → Position → Engage → Prequalify → Tender → Deliver. Waiting for the tender advertisement often means entering the market after the most valuable relationship-building has already happened.
Getting procurement-ready
Before approaching a principal or tier-one contractor, have the fundamentals in place: ABN/ACN, insurances, WHS systems, relevant licences, workforce capacity, an equipment register, a capability statement, project references, financial information where required, prequalification registrations, and Indigenous/local participation information. This is exactly what our Capability & Tendering support → is built around.
