Council has undertaken prior planning and investigations to understand the site’s long‑term potential and the operating settings required to support sustainable outcomes. This EOI is an early, non‑binding market engagement step to identify capable organisations and to test feasible concepts, operating approaches and commercial structures before Council considers any subsequent procurement stage. This section provides the background to this EOI, explains what Council is seeking from respondents at this stage and summarises the site context and strategic drivers that the EOI is intended to test. Purpose of the Expression of Interest The purpose of this EOI is to gather high-level information from respondents on how Theresa Creek Dam could be enhanced and managed over time, including practical concepts that fit the site’s regional context and operating environment. Council is seeking credible responses that demonstrate capability and strategic fit. In particular, the EOI will help Council to: identify innovative, commercially realistic concepts for future activation and destination development; understand potential operational, management and delivery approaches; identify organisations with relevant tourism, recreation, accommodation and destination management experience; and explore commercial structures and partnership options that could support long-term sustainability outcomes. Responses received will assist Council to identify potential future partners and determine appropriate next steps, which may include shortlisting and further engagement. This EOI does not constitute a Request for Tender and does not commit Council to any specific development outcome or contractual arrangement. Expression of Interests must be in accordance with the Specification and Criteria. Please ensure your written Expression of Interest is lodged prior to the Closing Time, being 10am Monday, 17 August 2026 AEST. The Site Meeting is optional and held by appointment message.

All phone enquiry details will be forwarded to the Contracts & Procurement team as a matter of record. Thank you in anticipation of receipt of your written expression of Interest. You will be advised if you have been selected as a successful Respondent in due course. Kind regards Isaac Regional Council
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
