Local Business Participation Program

The local Business Participation Program was undertaken for stage one of White Rock Wind Farm. The three stage process of the program is outlined below. It is likely that stage two of the project will undertake a similar program.

Stage one – Expressions of Interest

Businesses with an ABN registered their business and submitted Expressions of Interest on the ICN Gateway.

Stage two – Further Information

Following the appointment of the Main Contractor, an information forum was held in Glen Innes to provide local businesses with additional information about the available work packages and the process of bidding for subcontracting or supply opportunities with the major subcontractors. A database was provided to the Main Contractor and Major Subcontractors of all companies that expressed interest during stage one.

Stage three – Engagement of Contractors

The Main Contractor or Major Subcontractor engaged suppliers and subcontractors according to their procurement processes.
