The Commonwealth Government is calling for tenders to upgrade facilities at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area north of Rockhampton.

They’ve put an estimated value of between $120 million and $140 million on the project and a closing date of May 30.

The facility is one of two which will be employed by Singapore in a $1 billion-plus plan to train its defence forces in Australia.

No direct reference is made to this deal in the current tender, which is for the role of managing contractor to, “… deliver infrastructure improvements to support increased large scale training activities, harden and improve key training areas to support significantly increased usage and deliver the works within a highly sensitive environment to enable unilateral, multi-agency and multi-national training activities …”
