Leasing of Community Land for Telecommunications Facilities

Project goals

Aligned with Council’s Telecommunications Policy, the objectives of this Project are to:

· improve telecommunication networks in the Local Government Area (LGA) to provide the community access to modern telecommunications, both voice and broadband

· leverage the land holding of the Sites to create ongoing income streams to be re-invested in the community

· keep to the minimum the number of telecommunication towers needed to service the community

Scope

Blacktown City Council (Council), a local authority under the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) and one of the largest Councils in Australia, is seeking Proposals from experienced infrastructure telecommunications providers interested in leasing pre-selected sites within the LGA for the enhancement and/or delivery of modern telecommunications networks.

Details of the pre-selected sites are included in Section 3.

Council seeks to gain a more detailed understanding of the organisations and range of solutions that may be available. Hence, this EOI Process is the first stage of a multi-stage procurement process. Stage Two will involve a Request for Tender (RFT) seeking to obtain detailed proposals from shortlisted Proponents.

The opportunity presented in this EOI is to demonstrate your organisation’s capability, expertise, capital and reputation to ensure delivery of modern telecommunications infrastructure to service the community, whilst meeting the Project Objectives.
