Business Info
The Burdekin Shire Council covers an area of approximately 5,053 square kilometres and is bordered by Townsville City Council to the north, Charters Towers Regional Council to the west and Whitsunday Regional Council to the south.
The Council has its origins back in 1888 when the Ayr Divisional Board was formed. On April 1 1903, all Divisions became Shires under the Local Authorities' Act of 1902 and the Council of the Shire of Ayr was created. In 1982 the name was changed to Burdekin Shire Council to more accurately reflect the geographic area covered by the Council.

The Burdekin Shire Council is committed to working with the community to create an inclusive, welcoming, and healthy environment that offers a high quality of liveability for residents that is underpinned by a productive and diverse economy.

Beautiful beaches, great fishing spots, delicious cafes and restaurants and abundant sporting and community clubs combine to make the Burdekin a wonderful place to live.

Question:
Schedule B2 Insurances and page 7 section 10 of the Request for Tender ROPS Plant Hire Traffic Control referes to Plant and Equipment insurance for each item of Plant for the full replacement value of the plant.

In the instance where items of equipment are not insured can the requirement for plant and equipment insurance specifically for such items be removed from the contract if successful? Due to the significant and ongoing rises in plant and equipment insurances, some items in our inventory are not insured, and the company has elected to self insure instead.

Can a statement to outline this scenario and the reasoning be attached to the application.

Answered on 28/May/2026 12:51 PM:


You may opt to remove the items not insured from the tender submission or provide a statement to identify those items which are self-insured as per the query.
