Expressions of Interest invited for Kingscliff Coastguard building

Organisations interested in utilising the training and boat storage facilities at Kingscliff’s Ed Parker Rotary Park are now invited to submit their Expressions of Interest (EOI) for their proposed use of the facility.

Council resolved last month to invite expressions of interest from rescue organisations, community groups and private enterprises looking to lease the former Kingscliff Coast Guard building.

Submissions will be assessed against a number of objectives as outlined in the EOI criteria - including proposed shared use of the facility, community benefit and cost recovery.

Visit the Document Library on this page to see the EOI invitation and criteria.

A variety of potential uses for the building were proposed during a community engagement campaign by Council earlier this year, which included a market stall and community forum and the training building.

More than 40 people attended the evening forum, which identified community support to retain rescue operations at the building and a willingness by groups to undertake shared use of its facilities.

Expressions of Interest will close on 28 October 2015.
