Ports North

Strategic Scoping and Market Engagement – Cairns Marine Precinct (CMP-CUF)

Ports North engaged Vaxa Group to scope and develop a commercial and operating model for a proposed Common User Facility (CUF) within the Cairns Marine Precinct — a strategically located port asset tied to commercial, Defence, and sovereign capability outcomes in Northern Australia.

The objective was to prepare a fit-for-purpose scope that would allow Ports North to go to market for a Tier 1 advisory firm and then support evaluation of submissions and project advancement.

The Solution:
Vaxa delivered a two-phase program that included:

  • Developing a full go-to-market strategy, including scope documentation, evaluation approach, and assessment criteria
  • Reviewing existing CMP-CUF strategic plans, Board direction, and commercial requirements
  • Embedding Defence, Border Force, fisheries, and allied naval considerations into the scope development
  • Providing expert advice across stakeholder, governance, environmental, legal, and operational risk dimensions
  • Supporting the Expression of Interest (EOI) evaluation and refining the RFT process and documentation
    Introducing potential CUF operators to support Ports North’s future planning and operational decision-making
  • Advising on post-EOI tasks including Business Case assumption testing, commercial model validation, and stakeholder engagement framework design

Outcomes:

  • Market-ready EOI released based on a scoped model aligned to current and future user needs
  • Strategic alignment across commercial, Defence, and public sector stakeholders
  • Strengthened Ports North decision-making with the introduction of alternative operators
  • Positioned the project for a future-ready, fit-for-purpose operating model for the CUF
  • Delivered under compressed timeframes with continuity, governance and assurance

Relevance to Project Aurora:
Commercial and Strategic Advisory: Demonstrated ability to turn complex infrastructure needs into market-ready scopes and evaluation pathways
Defence and Government Insight: Embedded Defence and government needs into precinct design and operator planning
Procurement Expertise: Authored and structured EOI and RFT documentation for a high-stakes, government-aligned project
Stakeholder Navigation: Balanced regional, political, commercial, and national security interests in a live port precinct
Value for Money: Introduced real-world operator options, strengthening market leverage and strategic clarity for the client
