                                    2.    Eco Cottages’ Proposed Factory Development


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council recently undertook an open Expression of Interest (EOI) process seeking a new
commercial tenant for vacant freehold community land in Cooroy’s industrial estate. Only one
formal EOI submission was received from Eco Cottages Pty Ltd, a pre-fabricated building
manufacturer that has operated in the Noosa hinterland since 2006. Eco Cottages proposes to
lease the site to develop a new climate-controlled factory to significantly expand its business.

Council’s EOI assessment panel found the submission to be of a high standard and preliminary
lease provisions have been agreed in principle. The tendered rental achieves a fair market value
and the development poses significant benefits to local employment and economic growth. The
proposal aligns with Noosa’s Local Economic Plan by facilitating growth of a local business
seeking to research new technologies and grow local capacity. The EOI assessment panel
supports Eco Cottages’ submission and recommends Council agree to a commercial lease of the
site for a total term of 10 years.


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the General Committee Meeting dated 16
October 2017 regarding the expressions of interest process undertaken for the commercial lease
of Council land at 4 Jarrah St Cooroy (formally described as Lot 2 RP176126), and:
A.                       Agree to enter a commercial lease of the site to Eco Cottages Pty Ltd for a four (4) year
                         term;
B.                       Agree to an initial rent-free period of 4 months and deferral of a further 3 months’ rent
                         payments to the second year of the lease; and
C.                       Authorise the CEO to award two subsequent lease extensions of 3 years, subject to the
                         lessee complying with the terms of the lease.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to provide the results of a recent Expression of Interest (EOI)
process for the commercial lease of vacant Council land in Cooroy.

Council owns a 5,800m2 industrial allotment at 4 Jarrah Street, Cooroy in freehold (formally
described as Lot 2 RP176126). The site has been unoccupied since the previous tenant, a
concrete supplier, vacated the site in November 2013. An aerial photograph of the site and its
surrounds is shown at Figure 1.

                                    Figure 1 – Locality Plan

A report proposing an EOI process for a new commercial lessee for the site appeared as Item 2,
page 7 of Services and Organisation Agenda dated 9 May 2017. At the Ordinary Meeting dated
18 May 2017, Council resolved to proceed to an EOI, which was advertised in the Noosa News
and Cooroy Rag and listed on Council’s website. A number of potentially interested parties and
community groups were also advised directly. A 200m2 portion in the North-western corner of
the site was excluded from the land offered for lease to allow for the potential construction of a
future telecommunications tower.
Respondents were invited to submit applications to LG Tenderbox, Council’s e-tender portal, with
applications closing on 1 August 2017. There were 11 downloads of the EOI material from
separate entities through the e-portal. Only 1 formal EOI submission was received from Eco
Cottages Pty Ltd (EC).
An evaluation panel comprising of Council property, finance and economic development staff and
an external procurement consultant reviewed the submission in accordance with the assessment
criteria and obligations under Council’s EOI processes. The panel’s summary evaluation
spreadsheet for the activity is included as Attachment 1 and further detail is provided below.
The assessment panel considered EC’s submission to be of a generally high standard and noted
the following key aspects of its proposal:

Lease/Business Component         Eco Cottages’ Proposal
Annual Rent:                     $30,000
Initial Lease Terms:             4 years
Options to Extend:               2 x 3 year options
Market Rent Reviews:             To occur at the end of years 4 & 8 prior to commencement of
                                 years 5 & 9
Proposed Use:                    Pre-fabricated building manufacture

                                                                                      Page 4 of 18

Lease/Business Component          Eco Cottages’ Proposal
Proposed Development:             Staged Construction of a 2,600m2 Factory over 1 to 3 years
Employees:                        12 existing
                                  + 8 new proposed with the factory expansion
Environmental Initiatives:         ISO 14001 Certification process commenced.
                                   Environmental Policy in place.
                                   Proposed factory to incorporate solar power and water
                                      harvesting.
                                   Cypress pine based building manufacture.
                                   Manufacturing by-product recycling programme.

EC manufactures pre-fabricated modular homes using native cyprus timber. The company,
originally established in Hill Street, Pomona in 2006, and has grown from 2 employees to 10. EC
indicates it benefits from the continuing growth in popularity of pre-fabricated buildings, with the
sector forecast to grow at more than 5% per annum over the next decade. The company is also
federally registered as a Research and Development Entity for its research into the stabilisation
and use of sustainable native cyprus timber, which currently is in limited use in the construction
industry. EC’s R&D recognition allows it to obtain significant tax incentives for much of its
business operation and the incentives would apply to some of the proposed new factory
construction.

EC currently rents factory premises directly to the north of the site in Johnson Court and advises
that that factory’s production is unable to meet customer demand. It proposes to construct a new
factory at 4 Jarrah Street to allow it relocate and expand its operations. The proposed factory is
approximately 2,600m2 in area and will more than double EC’s manufacturing area. Preliminary
plans for the factory are included as Attachment 2. Development approvals will need to be
obtained by EC, with the factory use consistent with the site’s Industry Zoning under the Noosa
Plan and subject to code-assessable development applications. At least stage 1 of the factory
construction is intended for completion in the first year to allow EC to relocate but EC aims to be
able to finance the entire construction from the outset.

The assessment panel noted EC’s strong existing contribution to the Noosa economy and local
employment and the potential for significant growth of those contributions posed by the new
factory venture. Eco Cottages suggest the 8 new jobs posed by the factory expansion will
comprise of:
    1 full time architect
    1 full time office administrator trainee
    1 full time qualified carpenter
    1 full time qualified cabinet maker
    1 apprentice joiner
    1 apprentice carpenter
    1 apprentice painter
    1 apprentice plumber

The panel also noted EC’s development intent and business operation align with the Noosa’s
Local Economic Plan by facilitating growth of a manufacturing business seeking to research new
technologies and grow local capacity. Eco Cottages tendered an annual rental of $30,000, which
is in line with an independent market valuation for the site undertaken by Savills Valuations Pty
Ltd on behalf of Council. It proposes an initial lease term of 4 years, with 2 further options of 3
years.

Council commissioned an independent third-party financial assessment of Eco Cottages’ trading
history, which indicates the company has financial capacity to meet rental obligations. Whilst
development finance would normally be difficult to obtain over the 10 year period proposed, EC
indicates finance is to be sourced from identified private equity investors, rather than commercial
institutions.
                                                                                        Page 5 of 18

Assessment panel members conducted further clarification meetings and correspondence with
Eco Cottages to progress lease provisions reflective of its EOI submission and development
proposal. The following further lease provisions are agreed in principle:
   An initial rent free period of 4 months (in line with industry practice), with a further deferral
     of 3 months’ rent payments to the second year of the lease to assist Eco Cottages’ cash
     flow during the period of it developing Council’s site;
   Annual rent increases of CPI or 3%, whichever is the greater;
   Market rent reviews to be on an unimproved site (i.e. vacant site) valuation basis; and
   Eco Cottages’ buildings and improvements to generally remain its property at all times but
     with Council able to require the lessee to remove or forfeit buildings and improvements in
     the event of cessation of the lease.

EC indicated some concern with development of Council’s land under a 10 year total lease
period noting there is risk its lease may not be renewed. Whilst unable to commit to a future
Council’s action, Property staff have advised that current provisions of the Local Government
Regulation 2012 provide for a Council to negotiate directly with an existing tenant for renewal of a
lease, in the first instance, rather than obliging it to conduct an open tender.

The assessment panel recommends Council agree to enter a commercial lease with Eco
Cottages Pty Ltd for the 4 Jarrah Street site generally in line with the provisions detailed in this
report.

Previous Council Consideration

Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 18 May 2017, Item 2, Page 8
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 9 May 2017 and proceed to an Expression of Interest process for a commercial
lease of Council land at 4 Jarrah St, Cooroy (Lot 2 RP176126), as detailed in the report.

Ordinary Meeting, 1 May 2014, Item 10, Page 9
That Council note the report by Property Officer, Property and Land Management to the General
Committee dated 28 April 2014 and seek Expressions of Interest (EOI) for a Commercial Lease
for 4 Jarrah Street, Cooroy.

Finance & Risk
Preparation of a new commercial lease for the site will incur legal and surveying costs in the
order of $8,000 and would be met by the Property Branch’s operational budget. A new lease
agreement would need to address specific risks associated with the proposed development of
Council’s land and standard risks associated with commercial lessees.

Consultation

External Consultation
Preliminary legal advice on lease provisions has been obtained from a consulting solicitor.

Capital Revenue

YTD capital revenue of $698k received comprises cash contributions from developers ($357k)
and capital grants ($342k). Note that the timing of capital grant receipts are generally dependent
on the timing of associated capital expenditure, and that the timing of the receipt of developer
contributions (both cash and contributed) is unpredictable.

Cash Management and Investment Performance

Total cash on hand at the end of September was $82 million. Included in this balance are funds
held in trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds).

At the start of the month, the majority of cash was held in Council’s CBA working accounts
following receipt of July rates and ready for investment. Council viewed and refined the approach
to investment in line with the Investment Policy’s principles of maximising return, minimising risk,
ensuring appropriate liquidity and adherence to ethical investing principles. Consequently, $31
million was invested during September across a range of institutions including QTC ($15 million),
Westpac ($8 million) and NAB ($8 million).

                                                                                                                              Page 13 of 18

Actual interest revenue for September was $120k with a weighted average yield of 1.71% against
the industry benchmark (Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index) of 1.70%. Yield in future months is
anticipated to be higher than the industry benchmark due to the new investments with higher
returns.
