Summary and scope

Bounded by the Great Barrier Reef to the east and sandstone wilderness in the west, Livingstone Shire is located within the Fitzroy Region of Central Queensland and covers 11,800 square kilometres on the Capricorn Coast. The major urban townships of Yeppoon and Emu Park are where the majority of the population reside, our beautiful rural areas include Byfield, Cawarral, The Caves, Stanage, Marlborough, Glenlee and Glendale. Council Services a population of 36,000. Our major industries include retail, tourism, education and training, health care and social assistance, construction and agriculture. Stanage Bay Road, Kunwarara is located approximately 80 kilometres north of Rockhampton, and is the primary access road to the township of Stanage Bay. Stanage Bay Road itself is approximately 100 kilometres in length beginning at the Bruce Highway and ending at the Stanage Township. Stanage Bay Road currently has sections of road previously sealed amounting to 17.6 kilometres total which are all located towards the southern end of the road near the Bruce Highway, however the majority of Stanage Bay Road remains as an unsealed gravel road. Livingstone Shire Council is undertaking a project on Stanage Bay Road between Chainages 12.7km – 57.3km, from the Bruce Highway, to upgrade the existing gravel road to a minimum bitumen seal standard to provide a fit-for-purpose road corridor which improves safety, increases efficiency and reduces road maintenance costs in the future. Livingstone Shire Council is seeking to source suitably qualified providers for its 1058T - D – Stanage Bay Road Stage 2 & 3 as per the Drawings and the Technical Specification, located within this length of road, and the Works Contract requirements.
