Details

Rockhampton Regional Council is seeking construction tenders for the design & construct (D&C), supply and installation of the new irrigation pump station at the Rockhampton Cricket Ground (RCG).

  • The Stage 1B works form part of the broader irrigation upgrade program, with the Stage 1A irrigation mainline already installed.

Rockhampton Regional Council is progressing a major upgrade of the Rockhampton Cricket Ground (RCG) irrigation system as part of a multi year improvement program. The works are intended to modernise the site’s water infrastructure, improve system performance, and increase operational efficiency across the broader multisport precinct.

Stage 1B of the proposed overhaul includes the installation of a new 230,000 litre corrugated steel water tank and an associated irrigation pump station.

This new infrastructure will provide the storage capacity and pumping capability required to irrigate multiple fields simultaneously, significantly improving:

  • System control
  • Operational effectiveness
  • Water use efficiency
  • Scheduling flexibility

The upgraded system will support consistent turf performance across the cricket ovals and AFL playing surfaces, while reducing manual intervention and improving reliability during peak irrigation periods.

A single joint site inspection will be held at 10:00am on Wednesday 25th November 2026, at the front of the Rockhampton Cricket Ground, Reaney Street, The Common QLD 4701.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this agriculture & food opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
