EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Officer to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 7 February 2017 and authorise the CEO to enter into an extension to the current
interim management agreement for the Noosa River Holiday Park with Anvera Pty Ltd trading as
Dineen Tourism Management Park Pty Ltd for a period of 3 months commencing 1 March 2017.


REPORT
Council operates one holiday park and two campgrounds offering a wide variety of experiences for
visitors. All holiday parks operate under management agreements with varying terms to suite the
scale of the operation.

The current managers of the Noosa River Holiday Park, Anvera Pty Ltd trading as Dineen Tourism
Management Park Pty Ltd (the Manager), have been satisfactorily managing the Noosa River
Holiday Park since 1 September 2010. The previous management agreement was for a four year
term with a one year option. The option was accepted by the Manager in 2014 and expired 30
August 2015.

Three interim agreements have been offered to the Manager, with the last 7 month extension
granted at the Ordinary Meeting on 16 June 2016. This extension expires on 28 February 2017. A
tender calling for submissions to a new management agreement was advertised at the end of
January 2017. Given the timeframes required to complete the tendering process, there is
insufficient time to ensure a new agreement is in place and operational by 28 February 2017 and
an extension to the current agreement is necessary.

Accordingly, the purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to extend the current
management agreement to 31 May 2017 to allow Council sufficient time to appoint a successful
contractor. Staff confirm the incumbent has discharged its obligations in relation to the interim
agreement to date.
