New South Wales’ top civil infrastructure projects have been honoured at the 2025 Earth Awards
CCF NSW has announced the winning infrastructure projects of its 2025 Earth Awards.
CCF NSW CEO Kylie Yeates says the Earth Awards are the industry’s highest honour, celebrating excellence in civil project delivery across every corner of the state.
“These projects show what NSW civil contractors do best – solve complex problems, deliver critical public infrastructure, and support economic growth across the state,” Yates says.
“Nothing gets built in NSW without civil contractors – they’re the unsung heroes behind every construction and infrastructure project, from roads and bridges to pipelines, ports, housing developments and water projects.
“Our skilled civil contractors protect homes, strengthen freight access, preserve iconic places and support local jobs. In a time of rising costs and delivery pressures, they’re still getting the job done.”
