Project Overview
Our Role
SEE Civil Pty Ltd (SEE Civil) engaged MBD & Co Pty Ltd to lead and manage their Expression of Interest (EOI) submission for this vital reconstruction program.
MBD & Co Pty Ltd supported SEE Civil in preparing a competitive, comprehensive, and evidence-driven submission to the Department of Transport and Main Roads - Far North Queensland (TMR FNQ) for this DRFA-funded project. The submission was structured to highlight SEE Civil’s unique capabilities, strong regional engagement strategies, and proven success in delivering similar reconstruction works for TMR.
Given the project’s location within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, strict environmental management protocols applied. MBD & Co Pty Ltd developed a compelling and compliant response showcasing SEE Civil’s experience in delivering environmentally sensitive projects.
In a highly competitive tender environment, it was essential to differentiate SEE Civil from other contractors by clearly demonstrating technical expertise in road stabilisation, erosion control, and geotechnical works. MBD structured the submission to highlight SEE Civil’s successful track record in DRFA-funded programs, as well as technical partnerships with Geovert and other key local stakeholders.
Through MBD & Co Pty Ltd’s bid management, technical writing, and submission oversight, we successfully:
Delivered a compliant, persuasive, and high-scoring EOI submission that met all TMR and DRFA funding requirements
Positioned SEE Civil as a leading contractor for disaster recovery infrastructure works, reinforcing its reputation with TMR FNQ and key stakeholders
Supported SEE Civil in securing the contract, further strengthening its presence within Far North Queensland’s critical transport infrastructure sector.
