Operations expression of interest

Read about Council’s decision to call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the operation of Image Flat and Dulong quarry sites.

Respondents will be invited to provide their proposal for the management and operations of the quarries, including the structure or alternative approaches, and issues affecting the proposed tenure generally, for Council's consideration.

Council’s quarries at Image Flat and Dulong have been in operation for more than 50 years. Today these quarries manufacture and supply premium quality rock products for the construction, maintenance and repair of the region’s 2597km of sealed roads and 474km of unsealed roads.

The Queensland Government has designated these quarries as key resource areas (KRA). Both sites operate subject to the conditions of Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERA) permit EPPR00777413 issued by the Department of Environment and Science (DES).
