   REPORT
   1.   Background
   The Noosa North Shore Beach Campground is located at 240 Wilderness Track, Noosa
   North Shore. The Campground is a Council business activity and is operated on a
   commercial basis to ensure the competitive neutrality principles required under the Local
   Government Act 2009 are complied with. The site has a premier beachfront location and
   offers a range of powered and unpowered accommodation options for caravans, camper
   trailers, vans and tents. The management of the campground has been outsourced (similar
   to Council’s other 2 holiday parks) since 2014.
   The current interim management agreement has been in place since October 2020 (the
   previous incumbents Beachfront Caravan Park Pty Ltd discontinued service provision on 30
   September 2020). The management agreement requires delivery of a scope of services to
   undertake the majority of operational and day-to-day activities and to operate within
   contractual parameters. The current management fee structure includes compensation via a
   fixed price arrangement with an incentive program from revenue generated by the
   Campground.
   Council also currently undertakes various operational and asset management activities at
   the Campground, including capital works and maintenance, contract administration,
   provision of supplies as required by the terms and conditions of the management agreement,
   and environmental and asset management responsibilities.
   The current management agreement is due to expire on 31 March 2021.
