Battery Park Stages 1, 3, 4 and 5 civil construction

Overview Tablelands Regional Council (TRC) invites tenders from suitably qualified tenderers for the construction of Battery Park stages 1, 3, 4 (civil works only) and 5, as described in more detail in Part 5, Scope. About The Battery Park site is located at 39 Grant Street, Herberton, Lot 701 on Plan SP248420. The site was historically a minerals processing plant which processed minerals from surrounding mines in the Herberton area from the early 1890s to the early 1970s. Herberton Shire Council took control of the site and, through consultation with the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI), removed the infrastructure and significant quantities of contaminants, and filled and capped the site in compliance with Environmental Protection Act (EPA) requirements in the mid-2000s, with the view of constructing a community recreational park. TRC developed a concept park design through community consultation, and the Battery Park project was endorsed by TRC in 2023 for construction. Through the detail design process, the integrity and suitability of the site's rehabilitation have been tested and confirmed, showing that the site's capping is adequately containing contaminants (aligning with current EPA guidelines) and is suitable for its intended purpose as a recreational park. The detail design has sought to construct as many infrastructure elements above the capping layer as possible through the importation of fill, to maintain the integrity of the clay capping layer. Scope This civil construction contract forms part of the overall Battery Park construction project, which consists of five individual stages referenced in the IFC drawings. Stage 2 (Pump track) is not included in this contract.
