Federation Council is an NSW Local Government Council located south of the Murrumbidgee River and abuts the Murray River, west of the regional city of Albury. It covers an area of 5,685 sq kms. The population at the 2021 census was 12,821. The Council was formed in 2016 following the amalgamation of Urana Council and Corowa Council.

The council has 3 main towns of Corowa, Howlong and Mulwala with populations varying from 2000 to 4500. There are also 7 villages that have Council assets. The council is 140kms from north to south and 60kms east to west.

The main administration centre is located in Corowa with a secondary administration centre located in Urana.

Council is responsible to manage 278 km of Regional Roads and 2,034 Local Roads.

Federation Council invites experienced, qualified and accredited Kerb & Channel contractors to form a panel to undertake works for Council on an ‘as required’ basis in Corowa, Mulwala & Howlong. The amount of works cannot be guaranteed, and whilst the contractors will be scored and graded against the relevant criteria, this does not preclude Council from using multiple contractors, or when the highest graded contractors are not available due to work commitments.

The RFQ does not form a ‘contract’ with Council, more so an ‘agreement’ to undertake works as required on a seasonal basis.
