Applus+ ESD Secures Appointments to Two Major Western Australian Infrastructure Panels

Supporting Western Australia's Future Port Infrastructure

APEM has been appointed to the Westport Environmental Services Panel, positioning the business to support the development of Western Australia's future container port in Kwinana.

Westport represents a significant investment in the state's long-term economic growth, freight capacity and infrastructure resilience.

Through its appointment, APEM can draw on specialist capabilities from across its network, including:

• Maritime expertise: Specialist maritime advisory services through Nash Maritime, including master mariner expertise to support complex port infrastructure planning and development.
• Sustainability expertise: Combined knowledge and capabilities from APEM and Applus+ to support sustainability considerations and responsible infrastructure development.

Together, these capabilities provide access to industry leading specialist technical knowledge to inform planning, environmental considerations and decision-making across complex infrastructure projects.

Supporting Essential Water Infrastructure

APEM has also been appointed to Water Corporation's Environmental Consultancy Services Panel across several specialist disciplines, including heritage services.

The appointment draws on local Western Australian expertise, complemented by the broader environmental and heritage capabilities available across APEM's Australian network, including Biosis and Attexo.

As Western Australia's principal water utility, Water Corporation is responsible for delivering and maintaining essential drinking water, wastewater, drainage and irrigation infrastructure across the state.

With infrastructure projects frequently intersecting with environmentally and culturally sensitive areas, access to specialist environmental and heritage expertise is critical to supporting informed planning, regulatory compliance and responsible project delivery.

Strengthening Environmental Capabilities in Western Australia

Together, these appointments represent an important milestone in the continued growth of the Applus+ ESD in Western Australia and create opportunities to contribute to some of the state's most significant infrastructure programs.

By bringing together the complementary capabilities of Applus+ Environmental Services (ESD) and Energy & Industry (E&I), our customers can access broader, integrated support across the infrastructure lifecycle: from early planning, environmental approvals and stakeholder engagement through to engineering, inspection, assurance and operational delivery. This breadth of expertise helps customers to simplify delivery, manage risk and achieve safer, more sustainable outcomes.
