The Mackay Regional Council area is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland. Covering the areas of the former Sarina and Mirani shires and Mackay city, it extends 7261 square kilometres.

With a population of around 110,000 as at June 2008 and a projected annual growth rate of 2.1 per cent, the region’s estimated population in 2031 is about 173,000 people.

Its coastal location is complemented by its spectacular natural environment. This includes 31 beautiful beaches, a picturesque blue river and a pristine rainforest hinterland.

Only an hour’s flight from Brisbane, the Mackay region boasts an enviable lifestyle and a buoyant economy with the benefits of a fastgrowing coastal city. It is the gateway to the rich coal deposits in the Bowen basin.

Question:
Hi,

Is this panel looking for trade specific organisation or organisations who act as a Managing Contractor for works, or both?

Just wondering how this panel differs from the Local Buy LB505 Disaster Recovery Management Panel.

Kind Regards
