Question
:
We are reviewing the Pack 6 documentation and have identified a potential inconsistency between the gravel pit information provided.
The BOQ quantity appears to be within the nominated pit capacity, and the gravel pit allocation page appears to identify the intended pits for Pack 6. However, the individual gravel pit plans, including the setout points, do not appear to align with the pit allocation information or the BOQ.

Question
:
We are reviewing the gravel pit allocation and note that Yarramulla Road does not appear to be shown on the Gravel Pit Allocation with an assigned road/pit allocation. Based on proximity, OCR01 appears to be the closest available pit with capacity.
Could Council please confirm the intended pit allocation for Yarramulla Road, and whether OCR01 is the intended source pit?
Answered on 18/May/2026 03:59 PM
:
Confirming OCR01 (O'Briens Creek 01) is the allocated Gravel Pit for Yaramulla Road works.
