Section 1 Property Report

1.1 Invitation

The Department of Lands regularly investigates and releases waterfront commercial sites (including for marinas and commercial boatsheds). Other opportunities may continue to arise in this Region and in other Regions along the NSW coast.

At this site Crown land has been made available for consideration for a marina style development. It is located on the southern bank of the Macleay River at Matty’s Flat Reserve, South West Rocks.

The Department of Lands (Lands) is required, in accordance with the Codes of Practice and Tendering for NSW Government Procurement, to make the site available to public competition by way of commercial public tender.

The site comprises Crown land shown by red and blue edges in annexures A and B. The red edged area comprises lot 303 DP 754396 (739.8m2) and lot 383 DP 1101498 (1015 m2). The blue edged area comprises an area of waterway (1.14 ha.) extending approximately 240m north easterly from lot 383.

Lot 303 DP 754396 and lot 383 DP 1101498 are available by way of a lease for a term of 20 years. The additional area, comprising waterway north east of lot 383, is available by way of a Licence for a term of 5 years only to allow investigation for extension of the marina. A tenderer must tender for both. The Lease and Licence must be held by the same holder and cannot be dealt with separately.

Lot 303 has been developed for commercial use ie known as South West Rocks Boatshed.

The successful tender will be determined without prejudice in accordance with the selection criteria.

Submissions are to be lodged with the Program Manager (Commercial), Dept of Lands, PO Box 440, Taree NSW 2430 or placed in the Tender Box at Dept of Lands, 98 Victoria Street, Taree NSW 2430 by 4pm on Friday 3rd November 2006.

Unless prior arrangements have been agreed to by the Program Manager NO application will be accepted after the closing time.

1.2 Potential development/redevelopment

The Department of Lands is seeking early reopening and redevelopment of the site after the successful tenderer secures their interest by way of Lease (“Business Purposes”) and Licence (“Investigation – Marina Extension”).

Prior to consent being given for lodgement of any Development Application for approval under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 various criteria will need to be addressed.

Tender info package Page 3 of 16

Page 4: LC - 20€¦  · Web viewLot 303 has been developed for commercial use ie known as South West Rocks Boatshed. ... (NSW Fisheries) ... (including for gaining key access to the premises)

These include the proposal’s environmental impacts and constraints, nature and scope and the social and economic benefits to the community.Note: Lands reserves the right to withhold owner’s consent for proposals it may not support.

1.3 Services

The site’s known services include water, electricity and telephone. There is no sewer connection but the service is available in the area. Connection to the sewer needs to be addressed in any redevelopment. The requirements of Kempsey Shire Council (Macleay Water) should be clarified in this regard. Catering for the pumping out of vessel holding tanks may also be required.

Any intending applicants are advised to make their own investigations as to the existing capacity and proposed services and whether they will be adequate for their intended use.

Tenderers should be aware that costs associated with the provision of services to the site will be borne by the successful tenderer subject to relevant statutory planning and consents.

1.4 Improvements

Part of the tender site (lot 303) is substantially developed for use as a commercial boatshed. Improvements consist of a metal clad shed, underground fuel tank (condition unknown), fuel bowser and associated fuel lines, jetties (in need of replacement/repair), retaining wall (in need of replacement/repair) and hardstand surfaces (in need of replacement/repair).

Moorings within the tender site are currently occupied by Charter Operators, Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol and NSW Maritime. The improvements constructed by the Coastal Patrol and NSW Maritime remain the property of those parties. The boatshed, underground fuel tank and large unused cool room are considered a Crown improvements and this is reflected in the attached draft Lease document forming part of the tender.

Infrastructure associated with current use outside the tender area is not part of this tender.

An operational underground fuel tank (unleaded) is located within the premises. The condition of the tank, pump and fuel line is not confirmed but is in use and has been recently upgraded by NSW Maritime. The successful tenderer will assume full responsibility for their repairs (and Licensing with WorkCover) prior to operation. Otherwise, the tank must be removed by the Lessee or decommissioned to comply with relevant legislation. Note: NSW Maritime holds a temporary Licence from the Department of Lands to use the underground fuel tank. Fuel in the tank at the time of the granting of the Lease remains the property of that Authority. Negotiations between the Lessee and that Authority will be required to address this issue and reimbursement of recent pump upgrading costs.

Vessels currently moored on site remain the property of their owner. Fridges and freezers on site provided by goods suppliers remain the property of the respective supplier.

1.5 Access

Access to the site is by tarred road (New Entrance Road) and then a tarred road through Reserve 86775 for Public Recreation. Kempsey Shire Council is the Reserve Trust Manager.

Car parking requirements within the premises, the adjoining reserve, the adjoining Council Public Road and the Crown Public Road will need to be negotiated with Kempsey Shire Council and the Department of Lands.

1.6 Planning control/authorities

Zoning of the site is covered under Kempsey Shire Council’s Local Environmental Plan 1987 (LEP) as amended.

Relevant authorities, including Kempsey Shire Council, have consented to the Department leasing the Tender Lease site (not including the Tender Licence site) for commercial boatshed and marina development. Any use, redevelopment and/or future development of this area will require approval under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Tenderers should consider discussing their intended uses, redevelopment works and development concepts with the relevant Consent Authority.

statutory and relevant planning requirements consent of Dept of Environment and Conservation and compliance with its statutory and

1.7 Tenure

The tendered site is the Crown land as shown in Annexures A and B.

The Special Lease was forfeited in accordance with Section 129 (1) of the Crown Lands Act 1989.
