Gamuda Australia
Gamuda Australia was established as part of the Group’s strategy to expand and diversify its construction business in the region.
Australia is a key market for Gamuda and is now considered the company’s second base in the region. Trading under Gamuda Australia, the business is fully backed by Gamuda Berhad.
The local offering focuses on infrastructure design, construction, operation and maintenance, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Gamuda’s global track record in delivering major transport infrastructure projects makes the business well placed to bid for the current pipeline of public works, funded by the Australian Government’s AUD100 billion Infrastructure Investment Programme.
The Gamuda Australia team has grown significantly since arriving in March 2019, with local hires complementing the skills and experience of the Malaysian team members, many who attended university and/or have a family based in Australia.
A key part of Gamuda’s strategy in Australia is to engage and partner with local and international businesses to deliver infrastructure projects. Gamuda has already been shortlisted to tender for two major projects, partnering with BMD Constructions for M6 Stage 1 and Laing O’Rourke for Sydney Metro West Stage 1, both located in New South Wales.
Hiring locally and partnering with local companies that understand local conditions will be critical to Gamuda’s success in this market and is the model the business has used successfully in other markets.
Long term, Gamuda’s vision is to become a leader in the Australia infrastructure and construction sector by offering innovative, breakthrough and dependable solutions for large-scale public infrastructure projects and private investment opportunities.
The local business will work in partnership with the Australian community, sharing knowledge, generating local employment and creating opportunities for education and training. This includes plans to establish a Tunnel Training Academy in New South Wales – like the successful academy already operating in Malaysia.
Previously, the Group has successfully ventured into real estate in the Australian market. Gamuda Land, established in Australia in 2015, developed 661 Chapel St - a 30-storey residential tower overlooking the Yarra River in Melbourne, Victoria.

Gamuda Land has been navigating the Vietnamese market since 2007, when it ventured into the country with its maiden township development of Gamuda City in Hanoi.
The Yen So Sewage Treatment Plant and Yen So Park are Gamuda’s expansion at Gamuda City and remain a remarkable turnaround story depicting the transformation of one of Hanoi’s most polluted and inhospitable areas into a thriving green lung.
This earned the project two prestigious award – the World Gold Award for Environmental (Rehabilitation/Conservation), FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2018 and the Merit Innovative Planning Award (Masterplan Sector), Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) Planning Excellence Awards 2018.
Gamuda Vietnam has since expanded to Ho Chi Minh City with two other development projects- Celadon City and Artisan Park. The Celadon City development picked up the World Silver Award for Master Plan Category, FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2019.
Vietnam has encouraging growth prospects with one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, as it is going through rapid urbanisation – at an average rate of 3% a year over the past decade – with comprehensive infrastructure development.
The team in Vietnam consists of 100 staff, of whom 85% to 90% are local Vietnamese, which has allowed Gamuda Land to work very closely with the local communities and the government.
The key to success for Gamuda Land in international markets – not only in Vietnam but also in other potential markets such as Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom (UK) – has been and will always be the localisation of products based on local needs and demands.
Gamuda Land is currently recognised as one of the Top 5 Best foreign real estate developers in Vietnam. In addition to being a “high-roller” in the real estate market, Gamuda Land Vietnam is also a prominent name in social and community responsibility activities.
