Broadmeadow Urban Design Framework
Tender Overview
About this tender
The purpose of this Request for Tender (RFT) is. City of Newcastle (CN) requests RFTs from a suitably qualified consultant or a multidisciplinary consultancy team, to prepare a comprehensive Urban Design Framework (UDF) for the Broadmeadow Place Strategy Precinct (the precinct). The UDF will provide the Broadmeadow Place Strategy (BPS) with detailed urban design, built form, movement, public domain, and statutory planning guidance for Council and Developers. It will also support CN, State agencies and delivery partners in coordinating housing, employment, infrastructure, public realm, and staging outcomes across one of Newcastle’s most significant urban renewal precincts. Persons willing to fulfil the requirements of the proposed contract are invited to submit a tender to the Council by the deadline. Responsibility for lodgment of completed RFQ documents by the deadline lies solely with the Consultant. RFT lodgment information is provided in this document. Council is not bound to accept the lowest tender or any tender submitted.
