Super called to invest in defence

Financial Standard

|

February 23, 2026

The federal government has endorsed a recommendation that the Department of Defence establish a dedicated division to deal with private investors to drive the delivery of infrastructure projects.

The recommendation was made as part of a review of the department's real estate holdings which looked at whether Defence estate was fit for purpose. There were 20 recommendations made in total, covering everything from legislative amendments and divestment to the adoption of more stringent accounting processes and consolidation.

Among the recommendations, and one that has now been endorsed by the government, is the suggestion to establish a dedicated function within the department to "work with private investment providers to identify suitable alternate finance and delivery options for future infrastructure investments."
