Tender Description
Theresa Creek Dam (TCD) is an idyllic camping area located within the Isaac Regional Council Local Government Area (LGA). Tenderers are invited for the provision of Management and Operation Services of the Theresa Creek Dam facility (the facility) for a term of two (2) years, commencing approximately 31 January 2023 expiring on 31 January 2025, with the extension option of a further one (1) year at Council’s sole discretion.
TCD, which was initially constructed in 1983, is situated 22km southwest of the town of Clermont. The site is bordered by large residential farming properties. TCD functions as an important water source for the region and is also a highly important and valued community recreational asset.
It offers a diverse range of activities and amenities, including: • fishing (including Red Claw crayfish, Barramundi, Golden Perch, Eel-Tailed Catfish, Sleepy Cod, Silver Perch, and Bony Bream); • swimming and boating areas (there are two boat ramps onsite); • picnic and BBQ facilities; • an on-site café/food kiosk; • a children’s playground; • paid unpowered caravan, RV, and camping sites • dump stations; • camping shelters, showers, and toilet amenities.
It is noted as a key tourism asset within a large region, and with little competition in surrounding regions. It therefore holds highly strategic value for both the local community (who value it as a key recreational asset), and a wide range of visitor markets from interstate and intrastate. It contains a number of features including the dam itself (which contains a number of fish species), camping and picnic facilities, walking trails and a café/kiosk.
The site is valued highly as a major recreational asset by the local community and attracts visitors from a broader regional catchment 11,916 individual site bookings were made in 2018 and in 2021 this reached 16,743. Isaac Regional Council is currently working towards renewal and future development at the site and is in the process of delivering a Concept Development Plan that will guide the assets development for the next 20 years.
