Request for Expressions of Interest - South Johnstone Community Hall
Council is inviting Expressions of Interest from not-for-profit, incorporated community organisations wanting to occupy South Johnston Community Hall located at 52 Hynes Street, South Johnstone.
Please note that commercial use of the property is not permitted. The EOI document contains the following information for consideration:
· Building Description
· Land and site details
· Submission Form
· Response Schedule
· Statutory Declaration
All Expressions of Interest submissions will be assessed in accordance with Council’s Policy for ‘Community Use of Assets’ available on Council’s website (refer to website link:
https://www.cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au/downloads/file/4535/community-use-of-council-assets
Tenure agreements may be approved for sole use by an individual group or for shared use.
The agreement for use of the hall excludes the public toilets which form part of the building. The toilets have a separate external entry. The hall also has a lockable access entry to the toilets from inside the hall. Council will continue to be responsible for the cleaning and maintaining the toilets.
Agreement fees are set at $1 per annum plus outgoings (such as electricity, waste and water). Outgoings are listed in the Building Description section. Electricity, water connection and water consumption include the public toilets as they are not separately metered or assessed. The successful applicant will be expected to make a reasonable contribution to those outgoings. Estimates of those contributions are set out in the tenancy costs below and may be reviewed during the term.
The maximum term for the facility use agreement will be one (1) year, to be reviewed at the end of that term. Based on usage and compliance, Council at its discretion may determine if any additional tenure arrangements beyond the initial term should be granted.
Interested parties will need to undertake their own due diligence on the property and review the draft Facility Use Agreement prior to submission of their Expression of Interest and should contact Council’s Principal - Property & Leasing, Mark Valente, on 0457 055 737, with any queries.
