Finance
The proposed tenure model only involves “peppercorn” rent for not-for-profit groups, with Council
to assume structural and major maintenance responsibilities for the facility.           Proposed
maintenance budgets will form part of the upcoming budget deliberations but is likely to be in the
order of $10k per annum.

Risks & Opportunities
The proposed EOI process will allow Council to explore opportunities to activate vacant space at
the building, in line with its Community Purpose Land and Infrastructure Tenure Policy.
Depending on the outcomes of the EOI process, Council may need to consider risks specific to
certain use proposals.
