Details
Nomination Opportunity (Open 11 September, closes 24 September 2026):
This EOI is conducted in two parts, each released as a separate opportunity on VendorPanel.
This Nomination Opportunity (Part One) is open to Community Housing Providers and is the means by which Council assesses eligibility.
Following the Nomination Opportunity, there will be a Submission Opportunity (Part Two) issued only to Proponents assessed as eligible. The Submission Opportunity opens on 28 September and will close on 26 October 2026 at 2pm. A Proponent that does not lodge a Nomination cannot lodge a Submission.
The Nomination Opportunity contains all documents relevant to Parts 1 and 2 of the EOI with the exception of the Indicative Cost Schedule. This will be provided to Proponents invited to the Submission Opportunity.
Under the proposed arrangement:
• Council will remain the owner of the land and will become owner of the Village Assets;
• the successful Proponent will enter into a lease with Council;
• the Lessee will be responsible for the occupation, management, maintenance and operation of the Village throughout the lease term; and
• the Lessee will be responsible for all costs associated with the Village, including tenancy management, maintenance, utilities, Council rates and charges, insurances, other operational expenses and a lease fee to Council.
Through this EOI, Council seeks to identify whether there is a suitably qualified Community Housing Provider able to lease and manage the Village on a financially sustainable basis.
Following evaluation of Submissions (Part Two), Council may select a preferred Proponent and enter into negotiations regarding lease documentation and associated arrangements.
