Bathurst Regional Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the design and construction of the new facility to be built on Hampden Park Road at Kelso.
Plans to build a new pound were revealed in council’s 2017-18 budget, with $2.5 million allocated.
Building a new pound will solve a number of issues that the current facility, on the corner of Lloyds Road and Vale Road, has faced.
These issues include regularly reaching capacity and new standards set to be introduced by the NSW government for council pounds.
The current facility will not meet the new standards and cannot be retrofitted without substantial expansion to the footprint and at a considerable cost.
Tenders close on Tuesday, February 27.
