Built to compete in defence, before the demand arrived

Australia’s defence sector is entering a new era of investment. And across Symal, our teams are already on the ground helping deliver the infrastructure behind it. 

From barracks and defence precincts to specialist facilities, Symal has delivered civil, electrical and infrastructure works across four states, working alongside Defence, Tier 1 partners and government. 

Our experience spans projects including the Riverina Redevelopment, the Edinburgh Defence precinct and the Hanwha Armoured Vehicle Centre of Excellence. 

But one of our most significant milestones came in FY26. 

Wamarra was awarded the $40 million head contract to deliver an expansion of the Myambat Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Facility in New South Wales, a priority defence program delivered through the Commonwealth’s Indigenous Procurement Policy, with the support of Symal’s infrastructure delivery team. 

The project is an important step forward for Wamarra, building capability and experience in the defence sector while creating opportunities for our teams to deliver more together. 

“Symal Group has a diverse offering that services a number of Defence requirements, and we’re only going to grow that larger. We have an expanding national footprint, and that will continue,” says Christian George, National Lead - Defence and Emergency Management. 

That capability grew further with the acquisition of Shamrock Civil. 

With more than 30 years of experience and established relationships across the defence sector, Shamrock brings deep expertise in delivering complex civil works for Defence across Queensland, South Australia and Northern Australia. 

Together, our businesses bring different strengths to the table, and the ability to deliver across more locations, more projects and more of the infrastructure that will support Australia’s future defence capability. 

As investment in the sector continues, our focus is on doing what we do best: bringing the right people, experience and capability together to get the job done. 

We’re already in the sector. Already delivering. And building from there.
