The Gilgandra local government area is situated in the central west of NSW and covers an area of 4800 square kilometres, including the township of Gilgandra and three smaller villages of Tooraweenah, Armatree and Curban.

Gilgandra Shire Council is planning to proceed to the detailed design phase for the windmill walk extension scheme, as part of the Real Country project. Works will involve developments around the cultural and town centre precincts and an accessible walkway connecting the precincts and forming a loop with the existing windmill walk.

The objective of this brief is to seek quotations from a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to provide an environmental assessment of the potential impacts of the extension works, as indicated by the proposed alignments and concept images. Additionally, the consultant will make recommendations to ensure that the works are performed in an environmentally responsible and compliant manner.
