Three consortia have been shortlisted for the right to bid for the design, construction, financing and maintenance (DBFM) of the new Perth Stadium.

The three consortia are:

• WESTADIUM: led by Brookfield Financial and John Laing,
• Confidem: led by Capella Capital, and
• Consortium led by Bouygues and Plenary Group

Together the three consortia have been responsible for projects including the London Olympic Stadium, Adelaide Oval and Singapore Sports Hub.

The final proposals will be submitted in November 2013, according to the press release of the Government of Western Australia.

A Request for Expression of Interests was launched by the Government of Western Australia in December 2012. The deadline for submission of the Expressions of Interest was 14 February 2013.

A 18-month preliminary site works program, which is expected to begin in June, will mitigate any ground conditions and environmental risks and pave the way for stadium construction to start in late 2014. Works on site will include ground improvement for the stadium, bus hub and the pedestrian areas for the new train station, and groundwater and waste management works.
