Whitsunday Regional Sports Precinct Stage 1 - Design and Construction

The Whitsunday Regional Council (Principal) is delivering the Whitsunday Regional Sports Precinct (WRSP) to address the increasing demand for high-quality sporting, recreation and community infrastructure across the Whitsunday Region.

The WRSP is one of Council's most significant community infrastructure investments and will provide a contemporary regional sporting destination that supports organised sport, community participation, recreation, health and wellbeing, regional events and long-term population growth. The precinct has been planned to meet current community needs while providing a scalable framework for future expansion through subsequent stages of development.

Stage 1 represents the first phase of the Master Plan and will establish the core sporting facilities, supporting infrastructure and services required to enable the precinct to operate as a high-quality regional sports hub. The completed works are intended to provide durable, functional and maintainable infrastructure that delivers value for money over the life of the asset while supporting a broad range of community users.

This Principal's Project Requirements (PPR) defines the minimum functional, operational, technical and performance requirements for the Project. It establishes the outcomes that the Contractor is required to achieve and forms the basis upon which the Contractor will develop, coordinate, design, construct, commission and hand over the Works.

The Works will be delivered under an AS 4300–1995 Design and Construct Contract, under which the Contractor will assume full responsibility for the detailed design, design coordination, statutory approvals, construction, commissioning, testing and handover of the completed facility, except where expressly stated otherwise in the Contract.
