Economic boom predicted as Quipolly water project advances

Local contractors and service providers are now able to put their hat in the ring to get the top jobs.

Liverpool Plains Shire Council are asking businesses within the area to get involved by registering their basic information with council.

From there it will be passed onto the lead contractor who under the terms of their contract must where possible engage local businesses to support their work.

There will be roughly 50 staff on the job including truck and excavator providers, plumbers, electricians, chippies and fencers.

Accommodation providers are also being sought, as well as those providing real estate rentals for longer term occupancy over an roughly 18 month period.

There are also positions for caterers, personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers, hardware suppliers, suppliers of rental equipment, security, drone footage, seed and or hay for reinstatement and sediment control, plant servicing, particularly mobile mechanics, plant consumables like bucket teeth, fuel and oil supply deliveries, mobile office rental, amenities rental and traffic management.

"This project has the potential to provide local economic stimulus with many opportunities for local contractors and suppliers," former mayor Andrew Hope said.

"I urge interested parties to register their EOIs as soon as possible so that they can be passed onto the major contractors who are currently finalising their tender for the project."
