CPB Contractors partners with Kinaway

CPB Contractors is the Australasian construction company of the CIMIC Group. We design and build infrastructure across all key sectors, including roads, rail, tunnelling, defence, building and resources infrastructure.

In Victoria, CPB Contractors is delivering the Monash Freeway Upgrade, M80 Ring Road Upgrade, North East Link Early Works Package as well as other major projects such as the West Gate Tunnel and the North East Link Primary Package.

Membership of the Kinaway Indigenous Chamber of Commerce helps CPB Contractors achieve its corporate goal of engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their businesses, and their communities. As a leading construction contractor, we want to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses are embedded into our supply chain, ensuring they benefit from the opportunities that our projects provide.

CPB Contractors wants to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples continue to share in and benefit from the training, employment and business opportunities that our work and projects provide. Regular engagement with Kinaway will assist CPB Contractors  to establish and maintain relationships with Indigenous businesses and communities.

Through our partnership with Kinaway we hope to continue to build our engagement with existing and new Indigenous businesses in Victoria, ultimately contributing to local Indigenous communities through the training and procurement opportunities generated by the delivery of our projects. CPB Contractors looks forward to the opportunities to increase conversations and awareness within our organisation through information delivered by Kinaway.

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

CPB Contractors’ Reconciliation Action Plan includes targets of 4% Indigenous employment and 2%  procurement spend with Indigenous businesses. In Victoria, 2.6% of CPB’s workforce identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The growth  of Victorian Aboriginal businesses throughout our supply chain generates important economic benefits for the community.
