Harvey dump contract out to tender

Management of Harvey's rubbish dump will be put for public tender.

The contract for the council's Richardson Road site is due to expire on June 30, with a two-plus-three year term proposed for the next contract.

The contract cost is likely to exceed $100,000, which has forced the council to put it for tender under the Local Government Act.

A three-week tender period to take place is unlikely to be decided before the June 30 expiration of the current contract, so the existing contractor will continue on an interim month-by-month basis.
