As delivery of the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport – Station, Boxes and Tunnelling (SBT) project in Western Sydney progresses, so too does CPB Contractors’ commitment to building a positive and lasting impact within the community. In line with this, the CPB Contractors project team recently partnered with Orange Sky's Liverpool outpost.
Orange Sky, a national non-profit, is focused on supporting everyday Australians and provides free laundry and shower services to anyone in need as well as a welcoming community space for those experiencing loneliness or isolation.
CPB Contractors Communications Manager Chantelle Garrett explains how this collaboration with Orange Sky is an integral part of the project’s extensive community program.
“This local partnership has improved the hygiene, health and quality of life for many people in Liverpool. To date, it has facilitated 130 loads of laundry, provided 30 safe hot showers, and enabled 140 hours of genuine conversation between volunteers and visitors,” says Chantelle.
Dawn, a regular user of Orange Sky’s services, shared her experience: “When I first came across Orange Sky, I was intrigued by the bright van. I appreciated being able to get my laundry done, share a conversation, and connect with my neighbours. This service has truly benefited many.”
CPB Contractors is delivering the SBT project in a joint venture with Ghella. Works include the design and construction of 9.8 kilometres of twin tunnels and excavations for stations at St Marys, Orchard Hills, Airport Business Park, Airport Terminal and Aerotropolis, and services facilities at Claremont Meadows and Bringelly.
