We’re thrilled to announce that Sitzler has once again been recognized in the annual ADM Top 40 Defence Contractors list, securing the #10 spot!

2025 was another landmark year for us, with over $500 million in major projects successfully completed. Highlights include the handover of LAND19Ph2B and AIR7000Ph1B facilities at RAAF Edinburgh and Tindal respectively – delivered without incident, and to the highest quality standards to support our ADF.

A huge thank you to every member of our extended project teams, including our subcontractors and suppliers for their dedication and hard work in achieving these results.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re approaching completion of the $747 million USFPI NT Training Areas and Ranges project. Capping off more than six years of planning and delivery across four dispersed locations in the Territory.

And we’re not stopping there – following our appointment to the Defence Infrastructure Panel (Major Construction) in 2025, we remain committed to supporting Defence capability requirements nationwide.

We had an incredible evening at the Master Builders Excellence and Building Construction Awards celebrating the achievements of the Territory’s construction industry.

We’re proud to share that our Tiger Brennan Drive Overpass project won the following categories:

Civil/Infrastructure Project Over $25M
The prestigious Judge’s Award

These awards are a testament to the hard work, innovation, and collaboration that made this landmark project possible.

A special congratulations also goes to our own Adam Ford, recognised in the inaugural Site Supervisor of the Year category for his outstanding leadership, dedication, and contribution to delivering world-class health facilities for Territorians over the past decade.

These honours reflect the passion and commitment of our entire team. Congratulations to Adam and everyone involved in the Tiger Brennan Drive Overpass project, achievements we can all be proud of!

This marks a major milestone for our team and the broader community, as the overpass is now fully open and in public use. It represents one of the largest road infrastructure projects delivered in the Darwin region.

The NT Art Gallery project team celebrated a significant milestone with the successful pouring of the final roof slab. In recognition of this achievement, the team held a traditional Topping Out Ceremony, by placing a tree a top the structure, a practice that dates back to 700AD Scandinavia.

Though this custom is becoming less common in Australia, we felt it was a fitting way to honour the tireless efforts and dedication of everyone involved in bringing the project to this stage. It’s a moment to pause, reflect and acknowledge the remarkable collaboration and craftsmanship that has gone into the build so far.

The topping out ceremony is steeped in history and symbolism, marking not just the physical progress of construction, but also the collective achievement of all. Thers’s still work to be done, but milestones like this remind us to celebrate the journey and people making it possible.

Congratulations to our entire NT Art Gallery project team!

We are delighted to announce our engagement in the construction of a new permanent motocross track at the Hidden Valley Motorsports Complex in Darwin. This significant project will enhance the Northern Territory’s visibility on the global sporting stage.

Spanning 1.6 kilometres, the track will include 22 corners, 21 jumps, and a 90-meter starting straight that dramatically intersects the Hidden Valley Road Racing Circuit. It has been characterised as one of the most exhilarating and technically challenging tracks ever built in Australia, allowing spectators to enjoy views of nearly the entire course from various vantage points.

We are excited to deliver a legacy project that promises long-term benefits for the Territory, contributing to tourism and supporting local motorsports.

The track is set to host the FIM Motocross World Championship for the next five years, with the debut event in Darwin from September 19–21, 2025. Construction is currently underway and is expected to be completed by August 2025.

In 2020, we made our debut in the Australian Defence Magazine’s Top 40 Defence Contractors list at No.36. Since then, we have been progressing steadily up the board and this year, we are proud to be recognised at No.12.

We are proud of the strides we’ve made and the positive contribution we continue to have in delivering key infrastructure in support of Australia’s Defence capability.

This recognition reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and leadership within the defence sector and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our people. Thank you to our designers, delivery partners and sub-contractors, and most importantly our highly skilled project teams that deliver these projects in the remotest parts of the country.

We are proud to be advancing our position in the industry and look forward to more growth and achievement ahead this year.

On December 9^th 2024, Sitzler offices and sites across Australia paused for a minute’s silence to mark the 50^th anniversary of Cyclone Tracy.

We are thrilled to have been recognised at national awards held recently in Hobart! Our team was recognised for their outstanding delivery on the AIR7000 Phase 2B Aircraft Pavements at RAAF Base Darwin for the Department of Defence. The project covered an impressive 91,000m2 of pavement across 20 hectares, the work included 400mm thick concrete pavement on a stabilised crushed rock base and an intricate stormwater drainage network.

The project included the demolition and redevelopment of aircraft hardstands, installation of new aeronautical lighting, fuel hydrants, electrical upgrades, stormwater drainage, apron floodlighting and a new aircraft rinse facility.

This major upgrade supports the Boeing P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft, ensuring the RAAF Base Darwin meets the highest operational standards.
