It will also deliver water to around 50 customers and bring wide-reaching benefits to the region.

The construction phase is expected to commence in late 2021 and run to 2023.

The open tender process will require tenderers to have accreditation with the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner, be compliant with the Building Code 2016 and the Ethical Supplier Threshold. Release and closing dates for the tender are:
