Details

Airport Management EOI - The City of Ballarat invites Expressions of Interest to lease a Flight Training & Operations building (with offices/classrooms) and/or the

Flight Training & Operations building and/or adjoining aircraft apron; Ballarat Airport, 24 Kittyhawk Close, Mitchell Park VIC 3355.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

Located just over an hour north-west of Melbourne, Ballarat is one of Australia’s fastest-growing regional cities and a key economic

hub for Western Victoria. The airport supports a strong aviation ecosystem, including maintenance repair and overhaul services, aerial

application operators, flight training providers and private aircraft hangarage.

For those businesses looking to expand or to decrease their lease costs while remaining integral to Victoria’s aviation infrastructure,

Ballarat Airport offers a viable alternative location with around a 20-minute flight time to Melbourne, Avalon and Essendon Fields Airports.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this transport & logistics opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
