Westroads successful tender for the GDC Utilities contract
Westroads is thrilled to announce that we have successfully secured the Utilities contract with the Grey District Council (GDC) for the next three years. Our partnership will focus on maintaining the district’s drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater assets in the Greymouth area and surrounds.
Our local team has been diligently preparing for this opportunity, investing in training and qualifications to ensure we are well-equipped to meet the needs of the GDC and the people who live in the district. We will continue to prioritize investing in our team and technology to create a high-performing workforce that can deliver the outcomes the Council desires. We plan to bring on board existing qualified employees to work at our Greymouth branch, as well as explore employment opportunities for the outgoing contractor’s employees. In due course, we will be offering new roles to locally based trainees.
With the addition of the GDC contract to the Westroads portfolio, alongside our existing contract with the Westland District Council for 3 waters maintenance and the increased scale, we will be able to achieve cost efficiencies that we can pass on to our clients. The West Coast region presents unique challenges associated with providing compliant 3 waters services to small rural communities, but we are committed to finding innovative solutions to overcome these challenges.
