Legacie

What Legacie does

Legacie is an Australian water infrastructure development company founded in 2024, headquartered across Perth and Sydney. The company specialises in developing shared 'common user' water infrastructure projects, with its foundation asset being a large-scale desalination plant in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The model is built around multi-user, multi-off-taker infrastructure intended to serve the water needs of mining, resource, and industrial users in a region where water stress is a binding constraint on growth.

The company's core product is project development itself — securing environmental approvals, assembling capital partners, and curating an operating and renewable energy ecosystem around each facility. The Pilbara Desalination Plant is paired with renewable energy providers and structured to support industrial decarbonisation, suggesting an integrated water-plus-clean-power thesis rather than a standalone water utility. Legacie is also embedding Traditional Owner engagement and community/social license into project design from inception.

Legacie's business model is infrastructure development rather than asset ownership as a primary income source at present. The company intends to generate revenue through long-dated offtake arrangements with resource and industrial customers, infrastructure-fund co-investment, and government partnerships, but as of the latest data the firm is pre-revenue, with the Pilbara project in environmental scoping and no operating assets. Revenue mechanics will depend on tariff structure, offtake tenor, and capital stack once financial close is reached.

Regional players

• Sunwater: Queensland government-owned water infrastructure provider delivering bulk water supply to mining, industrial and agricultural customers. Comparable as a regional water infrastructure developer with industrial and resources customer base.
• Water Corporation of Western Australia: State-owned water utility serving Western Australia, including the Pilbara region. Operates major water supply infrastructure for mining and industrial customers, making it the dominant incumbent in Legacie's target geography and a potential partner or competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Australia: Australian arm of global water utility and services group Veolia, providing water treatment, desalination and industrial water solutions to mining and municipal customers. Broad incumbent with overlapping capability in industrial water infrastructure.
• CIMIC Group: Australia's largest infrastructure and construction group, with water and utilities capability via its engineering and construction arms. Comparable as a Tier-1 infrastructure developer and capital partner that competes for large Australian water projects.
• Worley: Australian-headquartered global engineering and project delivery firm with extensive water and desalination experience, particularly serving resources and mining. Comparable to Legacie as a major water infrastructure development partner in Australia.
• SUEZ Water Australia: Australian subsidiary of global water and resource management group SUEZ, providing water treatment and infrastructure services. Comparable broad incumbent with established presence in Australian industrial water markets.

Direct peers

• IDE Technologies: Israel-based desalination and water technology specialist with a strong track record in large-scale seawater reverse osmosis projects. Comparable technology partner and benchmark for industrial-scale desalination delivery.
• ACCIONA Agua: Global desalination and water treatment specialist with major project credentials, including large-scale seawater reverse osmosis plants. Directly comparable to Legacie's planned Pilbara desalination asset in technology and customer profile.

Emerging players

• Aquatech: Global water technology and process solutions provider specialising in desalination and water reuse for industrial and municipal markets. Comparable as a specialised water infrastructure developer with industrial process expertise.

Others

• Macquarie Asset Management: Global infrastructure asset manager and one of the largest investors in Australian water and utilities. Comparable as a likely capital partner and counterparty for Legacie's 'investment-grade documentation' fundraising into long-term water infrastructure.
