The consultant must have multidisciplinary capabilities including civil engineering, surveying, geotechnical engineering, town planning, and environmental compliance. The indicative construction budget is approximately $350,000. All communications are to be via the vendorpanel forum.
Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the project are expected to be substantially complete by Friday, 30 October 2026. Stage 3, if activated, will occur during the subsequent construction procurement phase.
