ConnectEast is a single-purpose entity dedicated to the successful delivery of the EastLink tollway. It is responsible for the financing, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the landmark project.

In an initial public offer (IPO), ConnectEast raised about A$1.1billion from over 14,000 investors and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX Code: CEU) in November 2004.

The board and executive management team of ConnectEast have significant experience in road engineering, tollway operation and the delivery of major infrastructure projects. Our aim is to operate a world-leading tollway in terms of affordability, urban design, environmental impact and customer service.

ConnectEast’s investor profile has grown steadily and it now has over 30,000 investors, with more than half of these living in Victoria - including many who reside in suburbs along the EastLink route.
