Overview
Techport Australia is a fully integrated and master planned 75 hectare estate that has
become a key naval industry precinct for delivering the Air Warfare Destroyers as well
as servicing other maritime industries. The precinct has been planned to sustain long-
term maritime/naval industries by making provision for future expansion of ship
building facilities, and earmarking land for maritime industry suppliers, commercial
development, and non-AWD related industry.
ASC is the anchor tenant at Techport, with major supplier companies including
Raytheon Australia, PMB Defence, Ferrocut, Babcock, Lefevre Developments, AMI
Marine, MagTagart Scott-LHD, and National Crane Hire/McAleese Transport.
