The Central Highlands region is in Central Queensland, Australia. The region encompasses an area of around 60 000 square kilometres, making it just short of the size of Tasmania.

It is home to around 30 000 people who live in the thirteen unique communities of Arcadia Valley, Bauhinia, Blackwater, Bluff, Capella, Comet, Dingo, Duaringa, Emerald, Rolleston, Sapphire Gemfields, Springsure and Tieri.

Our region is rich in minerals and agriculture, thriving on irrigation sourced from water storage on the Nogoa and Comet rivers. We claim the largest sapphire-producing fields in the Southern Hemisphere.

Major freight routes through the region include the north-south link between Charters Towers and northern New South Wales—identified as the inland transport alternative between Cairns and Melbourne.

The buyer has elected to have their personal and contact details hidden. These details will be revealed at the buyers discretion.

Council is seeking to establish a register of town planning consultants to:

Assess development applications on council’s behalf when application loads are high or internal resourcing is limited. The consultant panel will also assist with the assessment of development applications where council has a real or perceived conflict of interest, for example, where council is the landowner or applicant for a development application.

Assist in the task of duty planner function where required to assist the team with customer requests by phone and email.

Assess applications for development incentives or grants under the Economic Stimulus Policy on council’s behalf when the application loads are high or internal resourcing is limited.

Assist with the delivery of strategic planning projects when internal capacity is limited or during periods of leave.

Council are seeking to create a shortlist register of preferred suppliers so that council can request detailed quotations from during the contract period. Town planning consultants may nominate to be part of the register for development assessment and/or strategic land use tasks.
