Question:
Please can you confirm what is permitted with the communications cable relocation. Are Telstra completing this work directly for Council / do we just need to supervise the works, or have Telstra advised that it can be relocated under the project and we can engage an electrical / comms contractor to complete the works (or do they need to be accredited by Telstra to complete the works?)

See full communication from Telstra below:

As discussed, there are currently no active services running through this cable. However, Telstra still has a legal required to maintain the asset should a service be requested in the future. On that basis, if your contractors can accommodate the following methodology, it will satisfy Telstra’s requirements:

• Remove the existing cable as required to facilitate the culvert installation and bank grading works.

• Install a new P50 communications conduit along the same alignment as the existing infrastructure, positioned a minimum of 300 mm below the proposed works subgrade, extending to the point where the existing cable/conduit is cut.

• The conduit is to be installed as a single continuous length, fully glued, with no bends (other than natural slope or flex) and with the ends capped.

• Install two white-painted star pickets, one on either side of the conduit, to mark the location and depth of the ends.

• Provide photos of the conduit install (before, during and after the more the better)

Question:
Good Afternoon

Given that this is a lump sum contract, please provide clarification on the following items related to the construction and removal of sidetracks and the access road:

1. During the construction of side tracks and the access road, is there no requirement for temporary water passage measures, such as Black Max Pipe or equivalent?

2. Is a prime seal coat or asphalt required for the final surface of the sidetrack?

Answered on 27/Apr/2026 03:59 PM:


1. Temporary water passage measures are to be taken during the construction of side tracks and the access road

2. No temp seals are required. Gravel only is ok

Question:
Please confirm the correct total length of the culverts as indicated on Drawing Nos. IDM01239-30.05-400 and IDM01239-30.05-1201 compared to the Bill of Quantities (BOQ).

The drawings show four (4) box culverts (2400x900), each 14.4m long, for a total calculated length of 57.6m (14.4m × 4).

However, the BOQ lists a total length of 52.8m.

Please clarify which length is correct to allow procurement and construction to proceed.

Answered on 27/Apr/2026 03:57 PM:


The drawings are to take precedence over the bill of quantities. All works shown in the drawings form the scope of works for this project.

Question:
Is a Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) Licence Certificate required?

Answered on 06/May/2026 10:45 PM:


No QBCC licenses are required for this project.

Question:
Please can you confirm the concrete pavement over the culverts is a fixed thickness of 210mm and that the additional concrete to cover the grade change across the culvert length can be made up with leanmix infill (shown on drawing 1201)?

Answered on 06/May/2026 10:46 PM:


Yes, the thickness of the concrete slab is not fixed; however, a minimum thickness of 210mm is required. The final slab thickness will depend on the level difference between the top of the culvert and the finished surface level.
