Description

Expression of Interest (EOI) for Blacktown City Centre Civic & Administration Building

Project goals

Our primary objectives for the new Civic and Administration building are to deliver a building that:

  • is a landmark, welcoming building in the City Centre appropriately recognising the importance of its civic governance functions
  • delivered within budget and to the program required by Council
  • is recognised as an exemplar of cost-effective design, construction, operation and maintenance practices
  • provides new workplace accommodation and back of house operations to suit Council’s current and projected needs
  • aligns with Council’s accommodation and functional requirements
  • complements Council’s new Rooty Hill public administration centre (if Option 1 is selected)
  • promotes civic relationships and intuitive connections to the new Blacktown Arts Centre (to be located in Alpha Park), the existing Blacktown Max Webber Library on Flushcombe Road
  • supports the local economy and the City Centre
  • incorporates innovative design and construction to minimise future energy use and operational costs.

Scope

This Expression of Interest (EOI) process is being undertaken to assess market interest from suitably qualified organisations to partner with Council in the design and delivery of the new Civic and Administration Centre.

Council anticipates developer‑led submissions from organisations capable of managing the design, planning, and delivery processes, including the risks at each stage. The opportunity is intended for proposals led by a Property Developer, with architects and other specialists included as part of the consortium.

For clarity, Council is not seeking a Design & Construct contractor or a construction‑only price bid, but rather a developer‑led team with the capability and experience to deliver a project of this scale and complexity.

Respondents will be shortlisted from the Expression of Interest (EOI) stage to the Select Request for Tender (RFT) stage as part of the two‑stage tendering process.
