Cook Shire is the largest land area shire in Queensland. From the Bloomfield River in the south to just north of the Jardine River, it covers more than 100,000km2 and occupies 80 per cent of Cape York Peninsula.

Cook Shire is a vibrant area, from the main township of Cooktown to smaller outlying communities rich in indigenous history, agriculture, tourism and arts. About half of the Shire's 5000-strong population live in Cooktown, on the banks of the Endeavour River, with the remainder spread between the smaller population centres of Marton, Laura, Lakeland, Coen, Ayton, Rossville, Portland Roads and offshore islands including Lizard Island.

Due to Cook Shire's commitment to open and effective competition and value for money, we will regularly call for tenders, expressions of interest or request for quotes on projects of lesser value to ensure the best contractor is sourced, locally where possible.

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

Cook Shire Council invites Tenders from suitably qualified Tenderers for the construction of a new ablution block, covered access pathway, ramp and carpark works at the Shire Hall, Cooktown as described in more detail in Part 5 – Scope.

The Works generally include:

• Demolition and removal of the existing ablution block and existing access walkway, including disposal of materials off-site;

• Construction of a new ablution block;

• Construction of accessible covered access pathways and ramps;

• Carpark, drainage and associated civil works;

• Associated building, structural, hydraulic, electrical and ancillary works required to complete the project.

Separate pricing is required for each project element including:

• Ablution Block;

• Pathway/Ramp Works; and

• Carpark Works.

All works are to be completed in accordance with the attached plans, specifications and consultant documentation.

The successful contractor shall work alongside and coordinate with Council’s Project Management Team throughout the duration of the project.

The site is a recognised heritage site. Contractors shall comply with all applicable heritage requirements and restrictions during the course of the works.

Cook Shire Council will obtain the required heritage exemptions and statutory building approvals associated with the project.

The project will need to be completed by no later than 30 June 2028.
