Role in marine infrastructure
Birdon was founded in Port Macquarie in 1977 with a single dredge and now describes operations across Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia. Its maritime work spans vessel design, construction, operation and maintenance together with dredging and remediation. Buying for Victoria names Birdon Pty Ltd on current contract ITS2-00160 for Port Phillip and Western Port maintenance dredging, with a displayed AUD 31.9 million fixed-value total and a 1 November 2021 start. Birdon's project page describes the current term as 2021-2030 and names cutter-suction dredge Ballina and support craft Willie Tell and Bella. That plant and term are company-published particulars; Parks Victoria's campaign notices and acceptance records remain the authority for individual sites, quantities and completed work.
