T00408 Marine MegaFauna Monitoring Program

Port of Townsville is seeking tenders to design and implement a Marine Megafauna monitoring program in Cleveland Bay as part of the Channel Capacity Upgrade Project (CCU Project).

The CCU Project is Stage 1 of the Port’s long-term Port Expansion Project and involves capital dredging-related activities; the construction of a reclamation area; and the supply of marine-grade armour rock required for rock walls and revetment works at the Port.

The successful tenderer will design and carry out marine megafauna monitoring before and during marine construction activities, which will contribute to the port’s compliance with the requirements of the Commonwealth and Queensland approval conditions relating to the project.

It should be noted that listed inshore dolphins are the subject of their own separate Inshore Dolphin Monitoring Program and are not included in the scope of this monitoring program.

For detailed information on the specific goods / services sought under this tender, please review the "Scope Schedule" in the "Contract Documents".
