Bid proposal process

Proposals for new or upgraded facilities can be submitted to the department by councils and port authorities. Successful projects are included in a rolling program of works. The majority of construction projects are scheduled over 2 years with design and statutory approvals completed in the first year and construction commencing in the second (or subsequent) year.

Consideration of proposals consists of the following steps:

  • Development and submission of a proposal by the relevant council or port authority (proposals from individuals or other entities must be submitted through the relevant council or port authority).
  • Prioritising proposals on a state-wide basis and assessment against funding criteria and funds availability.
  • Development of a rolling program of works.
  • Notification of outcomes to proposers and announcement of successful projects by the Queensland Government.
