It seems the large multinational companies from mainland Australia have effectively shut out some Tasmanian businesses for this project.
Our company has been involved with the Gunns project for 2 years.
But to our amazement we have been overlooked as a contractor by mainland project managers due to the fact that they have not heard about us.
When they were informed of our company the construction company gave us 3 working days to tender a 10 million dollar section of this project.
After a number of emails and phone calls we were able to obtain an extension of 5 extra days.
It seems this is how a major Tasmanian project is controlled by a large construction company.
Who benefits from this project? Certainly not Tasmanian companies and families.
We have persevered to survive in Tasmania waiting for this project.( a waste of 2 years )
