Once complete, the underground pipeline will facilitate a water supply to Cambooya, Greenmount, Nobby and Clifton and serve as a drought contingency water supply for residents within the Southern Downs Regional Council areas of Warwick, Allora, Yangan, and by carting south to Stanthorpe and Killarney. Work on the pipeline is due to commence in 2025, and Seqwater will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
Seqwater is working towards the appointment of a suitably qualified head contractor to deliver the construction phase of the project. A market expression of interest was recently completed, and the Request for Tender has now been released to shortlisted construction firms.
In selecting a head contractor, Seqwater will give weighted favour to contractors that commit to engaging local subcontractors and suppliers.
The project will involve trades associated with pipeline installation, civil works, fencing, traffic control, concrete works, reservoir and pump station construction and is estimated to support an average of 400 jobs during the construction phase.
Local contractors and suppliers are encouraged to register their interest via our website at www.seqwater.com.au/toowoomba-warwick-pipeline-project-registration-form to be added to a register which will be provided to the head contractor, once appointed.
