94-23 Public Boat Ramp Upgrade at Flat Rock Picnic Grounds

Summary and scope

Gladstone Regional Council seeks a suitably qualified contractor to perform civil upgrades to improve the usability and safety of the single lane boat ramp located at Flat Rock Picnic Ground in Baffle Creek. The proposed development comprises construction of an upgrade to improve the existing boat ramp.
