Gladstone Regional Council proposes to construct a second permanent Round Hill Reservoir (RH2R) to gain resilience in the water network and enable the existing Round Hill Reservoir (RHR) to be repaired and refurbished to a more resilient standard. Council is committed to resilience building activities, to better equip the community to deal with the increasing prevalence of natural disasters.

Once the Round Hill 2 reservoir is complete it will allow the main reservoir to be taken offline to address risk factors of the current reservoir to improve resilience of the infrastructure and reduce the risks of impacts from bushfire or major storms/cyclones. This project will ensure the water network achieves the standards of service for both operating and firefighting scenarios with enhanced water storage during the development of the new reservoir RH2R, during renewal works on RHR and after the completion of the project.

GRC intends to award both Separable Portion 1 (new reservoir) and Separable Portion 2 (existing reservoir) to the same Contractor.
