- ICM & RPS Appointed to Lead Port Hinchinbrook Revitalisation Project
International Coastal Management (ICM), in partnership with RPS, has been appointed by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) to lead delivery of the Port Hinchinbrook Revitalisation Project. Port Hinchinbrook is a marina-based tourism and residential precinct south of Cardwell, providing access to the Hinchinbrook Channel. Sedimentation has reduced navigable depths across the marina and its access channels over time, compounded by events such as Cyclone Yasi. EDQ declared the Port Hinchinbrook Provisional Priority Development Area (PPDA), Queensland's first ever PPDA, in October 2025 to support the precinct's long-term revitalisation and restore Port Hinchinbrook as a thriving tourism, commercial and residential precinct. As Project Manager and Technical Lead, ICM & RPS will oversee the technical investigations, approvals and delivery planning required to restore navigability and support the precinct's long-term future. We've just come off the Bribie Island & Mooloolaba Boat Harbour reviews with RPS, and this appointment lets us keep applying our expertise to another Queensland coastline that needs it. Port Hinchinbrook's community has waited a long time for this - and we look forward to progressing this project." - Aaron Salyer, Director, ICM Early market sounding for the project's dredging and sediment management works opened Friday 3 July 2026 and closes 5:00pm AEST on 17 July 2026.

The market sounding period will close at 5:00 pm AEST on 17 July 2026. Respondents who meet the lead contractor criteria may be invited to participate in a discussion with ICM and RPS before any future Early Contractor Involvement phase. EDQ may use the outcome of this process to identify suitable candidates to progress to the next stage of the market approach. Responses must address the following: Company overview, organisation details, and primary contact. Confirmation of whether the respondent is seeking to act as the lead contractor for the whole of project scope and has sufficient insurances, including $20 million public liability insurance and Contractors Works insurance in excess of $20M. If responding as a contractor team, nominate the proposed lead contractor, any expected subcontractors, and the role of each subcontractor. Relevant project experience, with emphasis on dredging-led delivery and whole of project coordination, including civil bund works, sediment treatment, acid sulfate soil management, and marine debris removal. Available dredging plant, pumping systems, pipelines, people, and specialist resources. Indicative availability and soonest mobilisation timeframe. Local or regional experience and supply chain capacity. Key risks, constraints, and opportunities. Interest in participating in a future Early Contractor Involvement phase. Any information the project team should consider when planning the next stage. Full Market Sounding details are available in the document below. Responses should be concise and practical with a response of maximum 6 pages (excluding relevant project sheets, plant information, and CVs - keep additional information to a minimum to allow for email size 20MB). Responses should be submitted by email to ICM by the nominated closing date. Responses should be in a single email titled “PHB Market Sounding” with attachments. Multiple emails from the same contractor will not be accepted. Closing date and time: 5:00 pm AEST on 17 July 2026.
