Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation
Delivery parties
Construction procurement under development; the local capability-registration period ended 30 October 2026.
Contract route
NQBP describes competitive construction procurement. Its March 2026 CRG presentation sets out design-and-construct EOI, tender and award stages; the local supplier register supports contractor delivery planning.
Execution window
Public-jetty construction expected 2027 and completion planned late 2028, subject to approvals, staging and procurement. The commercial wharf has a separate funding and regulatory decision.
Works package
Replacement public jetty with potential common causeway works for a proposed adjacent commercial towage facility. Reference design and final construction design remain in development.
Marine interfaces
Public access and commercial towage servicing may use a wider, higher causeway. The common access layout must accommodate the selected design loads, users, utility routes and construction sequence.
Commercial evidence boundary
The AUD 68 million public project comprises AUD 50 million Queensland funding and AUD 18 million from NQBP. Commercial-wharf expenditure has its own budget and approval route.
