This is a fully turnkey project and the successful contractor will manage all design, construction and commissioning work. Closing Date: 21/Oct/2026 02:00 PM (Brisbane time). Reference: VP526949.

This tender is likely most valuable to turnkey solar contractors or engineering firms experienced in carpark-mounted solar shade structures who can deliver structural and electrical design and manage full project delivery. Key challenges include providing a cyclone-rated structural design for Far North Queensland, integrating the shade structure with the existing carpark layout and drainage, determining the final suitable system size, and ensuring safe electrical integration with the current switchboards.
