WA government seeks electrical contractor for a critical infrastructure upgrade at the Light Industrial Area (LIA) on Cocos (Keeling) Islands, managed by JLL.

JLL has been contracted to provide comprehensive property management services on behalf of the Western Australian Government Department of Housing and Works (DHW) for the Light Industrial Area (LIA) on West Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The LIA is a small (approx. 15,000 sqm) multi-purpose industrial complex located on West Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, comprising various operational facilities including multiple sheds, sea containers, workshop spaces, office facilities, and storage areas. LIA serves as a central hub for light industrial, logistics and commercial operations on the island, housing essential infrastructure and equipment necessary for ongoing operations and maintenance activities. The LIA currently operates with multiple fragmented electrical supply systems that have been installed over time without integrated planning, resulting in a complex network of distribution boards, transformers, and underground conduits. This fragmented infrastructure creates operational inefficiencies, increased maintenance costs, and safety concerns due to the difficulty of isolating specific circuits during maintenance or emergency situations. Recent comprehensive ground penetrating radar scanning conducted in April 2025 has identified the full extent of existing underground services, revealing numerous uncoordinated electrical conduits and distribution systems that require consolidation.

We are seeking a skilled, suitably qualified, and experienced electrical contractor who is capable of undertaking the required electrical supply system consolidation and upgrade works in a remote island location. The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering the electrical infrastructure consolidation project outlined in Section 2 - Statement of Requirements and Specification in RFT.

The buyer is the Western Australian Government Department of Housing and Works, with Jones Lang LaSalle acting as the managing agency. The original contract value and winning contractor for the electrical works are not publicly named in this record.
