What the buyer is requesting Details Council is seeking quotations from suitably qualified and experienced consultants to prepare the Pedestrian Connectivity Strategy 2027–2037 for the Swan Hill municipality. The Strategy will provide a contemporary, evidence-based framework to guide pedestrian connectivity planning, prioritisation and future infrastructure investment across the municipality over a ten (10) year period. The Strategy is intended to build upon Council’s existing Missing Links Footpath Construction Strategy and develop a broader pedestrian connectivity framework that considers accessibility, safety, network continuity, active transport opportunities, township connectivity and long-term infrastructure planning. The Strategy must be practical, implementable and suitable for a regional local government context, recognising the dispersed township structure, constrained funding environment and varying pedestrian demands across the municipality. Council intends for the Strategy to: • improve pedestrian connectivity and accessibility across the municipality; • identify gaps and barriers within the pedestrian network; • establish a transparent and evidence-based prioritisation framework; • support future capital works planning and grant applications; • align with Council’s strategic planning and asset management frameworks; and • provide a practical implementation roadmap for future pedestrian infrastructure investment. Council will provide available GIS and asset data relating to the existing footpath network to the successful consultant.

How to respond to this tender
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Read the requirements in full
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.
Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding
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.
Answer every criterion with evidence
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.
Lodge early through the official portal
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.
