On Wednesday, October 8 in Perth, Defence Minister Richard Marles revealed Henderson would become a fully fledged defence precinct, with infrastructure to facilitate the maintenance of nuclear-powered submarines and the surface fleet, including multiple dry docks.
Henderson is set to become the largest naval maintenance hub in the Southern Hemisphere after the state and federal governments inked a deal tipped to be worth up to $20 billion to expand the shipyard and maintain future nuclear-powered submarines.
The hub is expected to create as many as 10,000 ongoing jobs, with WA Premier Roger Cook claiming the industry would rival the resources sector as a key area for economic activity.
That figure includes up to 3500 roles at HMAS Stirling naval base, which will receive $8 billion in new infrastructure over the next decade.
It also includes 3000 roles at depot-level maintenance in Henderson, 1000 in construction and 2300 across surface fleet and landing craft.
With the significant amount of public money to be invested by State and Federal governments on this precinct, bid and tender writing using specialised software like AutogenAI is critical. Companies that do not utilise software like AutogenAI will struggle to remain competitive in this space.
These are substantial undertakings between enterprises and the government, involving billions of dollars in taxpayers’ funds that need to be invested efficiently and sustainably.
