Resheeting Unsealed Roads

Sunshine Coast Council manages approximately 480 km of unsealed roads across the region. Each year, roads selected for re-sheeting and associated works are identified through engineering assessments and on-site inspections. These maintenance activities aim to ensure the safety of road users, meet defined service levels, and extend the lifespan of the road network.

Council invites tenders from qualified and experienced contractors to undertake re-sheeting works on selected roads. The successful contractor will be responsible for collecting, transporting, and laying 2.5 Grade Maintenance Gravel sourced from Image Flat Quarry, at the designated sites listed in the Schedule 5 - Attachment 1 - Service Specification - Appendix 3 Program of Work (POW) Base Data Template.

The POW includes six roads across two zones:

• Southern Zone – Division 1

• Northern Zone – Division 10

This tender is for a single contract and is not divided into separable portions. If subcontractors are proposed, evidence of robust management systems must be included in the tender. Works are scheduled between February and April 2026, with completion required by 30th April 2026.

The contractor must provide all necessary resources at their own cost, including:

• Work crews

• Transport and labour

The contractor will act as the Principal Contractor under the WH&S Act and Regulations, managing site safety and trafficability while minimising disruptions. Spoil and profiling must be transported to a Council-nominated stockpile site, or to an alternative disposal site at Council’s expense if directed. A sustainable approach to material management is expected.
