Ventia and Telstra have today announced a major expansion of their long-standing partnership with a five-year agreement to optimise the delivery of design, construct and maintenance of Telstra’s critical digital infrastructure.  

For Ventia, the strategic partnership is expected to generate over $400 million in annual revenue over the next five years and reflects Ventia's strong customer focus and its strategy to redefine service excellence. 

The agreement covers nationwide lifecycle management and fixed network services for Telstra’s digital infrastructure facilities. The partnership will also cover the design and large-scale construction of asset relocation and commercial works, as well as continuation of some services related to network design & construction, including Wideband, optical fibre, data, IP networks and wireless.

Ventia’s Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Dean Banks said: “We are proud to have been a trusted partner of Telstra for nearly 30 years and are excited to significantly expand our partnership to support their strategic goals.”
