Business Info
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.

Question:
Hi,

Due to the geographical location of the site and the distances some tenderers will need to travel to provide a quotation, could Council please provide a brief breakdown of the works and repairs required?

This information would assist tenderers in determining whether the proposed works fall within their scope of services and whether they are in a position to provide a quotation prior to making the necessary arrangements to attend the site meeting.

Answered on 14/Sep/2026 10:15 AM:


Due to the nature of the structural damage to the Rest Area Structure, we require the tenderers to visit site to determine the full scope of works. Site visit is mandatory for quotations to be accepted.

Question:
Hi,

We are interested in submitting an offer for RFQ260208. We have reviewed the nominated structure and surrounding site using the current Google Maps/Street View imagery and are comfortable assessing and pricing the works based on the information visible.

As we are located a considerable distance from the site, could Council please confirm whether it would accept a quotation prepared from our remote assessment of the structure, without attending the physical site inspection?

We acknowledge that any such quotation would be submitted at our own risk based on the information available to us.

Alternatively, if a physical inspection remains mandatory, could Council please confirm whether an authorised representative may attend on our behalf?

Kind regards,

Michael Robertson

Due to all suppliers being required to meet the same standard a site visit is mandatory. You are able to send an authorised representative in your place.
