Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠Bridge Street quarry is currently an unused hard rock quarry that ceased operations in 1994. The site has been identified as a future tourism landmark with potential for both public and private investment. Council is seeking to undertake the rehabilitation of the former quarry to make the site safe and prepare it for future development and use as a public facility. Rehabilitation of the site and transformation into a greenspace will enhance community health and safety while promoting active and healthy community outcomes in line with Council’s corporate plan. There is also potential for adventure/ecotourism, food, and accommodation facilities within the site that would deliver an income stream for Council.

 
The aim of the project is to undertake detailed planning to enable development of the quarry site as a public greenspace that capitalises on the natural geological features of the site to enable future tourism development.
 
The scope of this engagement is to undertake landscape master planning and optimisation of the quarry rehabilitation final landform to suit the planned end-use as a public facility. A Business Case/Plan is also required to demonstrate the viability of the gardens, its management, governance, and future sustainability including commercial viability in order to attract future funding for construction of the facility.
 
Council is seeking to engage a multidisciplinary consultant team with experience in iconic parkland development planning to partner with us on the delivery of this important strategic project for the Toowoomba region.
