Townsville businesses awarded contracts for Burdekin Falls Dam

Works are progressing to improve and raise Queensland’s largest dam, Burdekin Falls, with six new contracts awarded for a range of planning activities.

The contracts are worth a combined $1.7 million and will support 80 jobs, with 50 of these in the local region.

These involve geotechnical investigations, quarry material sourcing, cultural heritage and native title work and the establishment of a 17-person temporary camp to reduce time spent driving to and from the site, assisting with fatigue management and reducing vehicle movements on local roads.

More information on these contracts and the works to progress are available in this Ministerial media statement.
