Civil Contractors Federation

The Federation – National

The Civil Contractors Federation is the member based representative body of civil contractors in Australia, providing assistance and expertise in contractor development and industry issues.

Nationally CCF represents over 2,000 small, medium and large sized contractor members who in turn employ more than 40,000 people.

Members are involved in a variety of projects and activities including the development and maintenance of civil infrastructure such as roads, bridges, dams, wharves, and commercial and residential land development.

The Civil Contractors Federation is governed by an elected national board who set the strategic direction of the Federation and act as the policy making group for the organisation.

A network of branch offices is located in every state and territory. Each branch has an elected board comprised of contractor members who provide governance and strategic direction and a CEO who is responsible to oversee operations and service delivery of the branch.

The ongoing aim is to improve the civil construction industry, and provide a unified voice for civil contractors to all levels of government.

Western Australia

In 1975 a group of civil contractors in Western Australia formed the Land Development Contractors Association (LDCA). In the late 1980s the LDCA joined the national contractor association then known as the Australian Earthmovers and Road Contractors Federation (AERCF), which became the Civil Contractors Federation (WA Branch) in 1995.

CCF WA was established as a union of employers registered under the Federal Workplace Relations laws focused on providing balance to the industrial relations debates that have been commonplace at different times in Australia’s history.

Under the leadership of several very committed Branch Presidents, Executive Directors and CEOs CCF WA has broadened its focus over the years to encompass all of the activities generally associated with an industry peak body.

The input and involvement of all members has and will continue to be critical to the ongoing growth and evolution of CCF WA. We are acutely aware and grateful of the dedication of many of our members who willingly commit their time to the Federation. It is an enduring strength of CCF WA.

The dynamic nature of our industry and close interaction with governments and other industries means that our members work in an environment of constant change. CCF WA also operates in this environment as we continually review our operations to ensure we are meeting the ever-changing needs of our members.

In Western Australia, membership is approaching 200 members, including Regional and North West Divisions.
