The Property and Asset Services (PAS) contract, part of Defence's Base Services Transformation program, commences in February 2026 and runs until 2032, with two extension options of between one to three years each. Under the new contract, Downer will provide base and estate facilities maintenance operations, aerodrome operations, land management, training area and range management, and integration services across the combined New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory region, and Queensland region.
