The Green amenities project gets extra funding as tender moves towards construction

The Green Sporting and Public Amenities project can move towards construction after Georges River Council approved additional funding and recommended accepting tender T26/005.

The committee noted that a higher budget was required to proceed and approved the extra project budget described in a confidential attachment. The amount of the increase, the total project cost and its funding source were not disclosed.

The recommended tender was accepted under section 178(1)(a) of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021. The successful contractor’s name was contained in confidential attachments and was not disclosed.

The General Manager was authorised to execute the construction contract on behalf of Georges River Council, subject to a satisfactory financial assessment of the successful contractor. That assessment must be completed before the contract is signed.

The recommendation was carried unanimously on 12 October 2026. Unsuccessful tenderers are to be notified of the resolution, providing a formal outcome for the businesses that bid for the work.

No construction timetable, project location or exact facility details were provided. The project is identified as The Green Sporting and Public Amenities Construction and is covered by tender reference T26/005.

The funding approval and tender recommendation remove the immediate procurement step before contracting, while key details remain undisclosed. The next steps are the financial assessment, contract execution if the assessment is satisfactory, and notification of unsuccessful tenderers.

Georges River Council also received and noted its Significant Projects Update for October 2026. That update did not include further project-specific progress details for The Green.
