A local company has been awarded the civil works contract for stages 2B and 3 of the Gateway Business and Industry Park at Yeppoon.

Livingstone Shire Council announced on Monday Hendrie Constructions had been awarded the contract for the next stage of The Gateway.

The Gateway is a 56-hectare, six-stage masterplanned industrial precinct developed and owned by Livingstone Shire Council.

The new stages will create 10 new lots and road infrastructure for new and existing businesses and industries to call Yeppoon home.

Stages 1 and 2A, consisting of 19 lots are already fully developed and sold, with commercial lots ranging in size from 2000 sqm to 2.3 hectares.

The precinct is located on the “fringe” of the Yeppoon town centre with access via Rockhampton-Yeppoon Rd.

A range of businesses already operate out of the park including a brewery, bus depot, waste removal services and storage facilities to name a few.

Managing director Luke Hendrie said Hendrie Constructions had built a reputation throughout Central Queensland as a civil construction firm focused on creating quality for a range of local government and development projects.

“Hendrie Constructions has been in business on the Capricorn Coast for over a decade and we are proud to be part of this community, so we are pleased to gain council support to build such a significant project for the region,” he said.

“As Livingstone Shire continues to grow and secure population and business growth from throughout Queensland and Australia, we look forward to continuing to lay strong foundations with Livingstone Shire Council as a trusted local contractor.”

Livingstone Shire Mayor Andy Ireland said council was building The Gateway’s capacity to accommodate the projected growth needs of business and industry in the short to medium-term future.

“Further development of The Gateway is delivering on Council’s long-term plan to drive economic growth, private investment, and local job creation on the Capricorn Coast,” he said.

“Livingstone Shire is open for business, and we are inviting new and existing businesses who are seeking to expand to consider The Gateway as your next home to build on your life’s work.

“There are still some lots available so if you are considering the next stage for your business or your industry, please consider The Gateway.”
