EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the contract award of the preferred contractor for the
Design Development and Construction of the Park Road Boardwalk.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Project Manager to the Special Council Meeting dated 1
March 2018 and award tender 1718T075 for Design Development and Construction of the Park
Road Boardwalk to J Hutchinson Pty Ltd t/as Hutchinson Builders for the lump sum price of
$6,593,344.


REPORT
The proposed contract is for the design development and construction of approximately 420
metres of boardwalk to replace the existing section of the Park Road Boardwalk from Little Cove
to the Noosa National Park entrance. This section of boardwalk originally constructed in the mid-
1980s has reached the end of its useful life and requires replacement. It follows on from the
replacement of previous sections of boardwalk from Main Beach to Little Cove.

The contract works are proposed to commence onsite after Easter 2018 and be completed
ahead of the December 2018 holidays with a target completion of October 2018.

1.                       Design

The Park Road Boardwalk design for the section from Little Cove to Noosa National Park
entrance was originally developed through consultation with the Community Stakeholder Project
Reference Group. The aim of the project was to complete the link between Hastings Street and
the Noosa National Park and create an iconic project in keeping with the natural setting while at
the same time reducing the long term maintenance costs.

The resultant design has been developed to have minimal impact on existing vegetation, improve
accessibility, widen and provide opportunity to rest and take in views, as well as provide an
architectural design based on use of natural and durable materials in keeping with the Noosa
Design Principles. Refer Attachment 2 – Design images.
