CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR NORTH NARRABEEN RESERVE SPORTS AMENITIES
Council is planning a replacement North Narrabeen Reserve Sports Amenities Building that meets the needs of relevant sporting clubs, the community and Council. Council ran a public open tender process for Major Works for Construction Services for North Narrabeen Reserve Sports Amenities Building as detailed in RFT2018/041.
The tender closed on 22 March 2018 and four submissions were received with one being considered non-conforming.

Options Council may consider include:

choose not to proceed with the project.
