Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Maritime Safety Queensland, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads
Delivery parties
Hunter Contractors Pty Ltd - appointed prime contractor under MSQ25017
Contract route
Queensland Transport and Main Roads' contract disclosure identifies MSQ25017 as an open-procurement contract with Hunter Contractors Pty Ltd, valued at AUD 1,981,207 and dated 10 July 2025. The disclosure does not name lower-tier contractors or suppliers.
Execution window
Maritime Safety Queensland's 29 August 2025 notice expected construction to commence on 2 September and complete by November 2025, weather and site conditions permitting. Those dates establish the owner baseline only; actual completion remains unconfirmed.
Works package
Reconstruct sections of the eastern rock wall and undertake shoreline protection beside the Esplanade access road on the western side of the harbour. The official map marks two shoreline protection work areas within the state boat harbour boundary.
Marine interfaces
The state boat harbour remained operational during the planned works. Maritime Safety Queensland said public boat ramps and parking, harbour businesses and adjacent parkland access would remain available. Western works required one-way traffic-light control on the Esplanade access road, and mariners and the public were asked to use caution around the land and on-water worksite.
Commercial evidence boundary
The disclosed contract value is AUD 1,981,207. No cited source provides a variation ledger, payment status, subcontract values, final cost or close-out account. The appointment confirms Hunter Contractors as prime but does not identify quarry, haulage, survey, testing, marine-plant or other lower tiers.
