Details

East Gippsland Shire Council requires fire safety upgrades at Omeo Holiday Park and Bemm River Caravan Park to bring the operational caravan parks into compliance with the 2024 CFA guidelines. The current park operations and fire protection arrangements are based on previous regulatory requirements and must be reviewed and upgraded to meet current fire safety expectations. The works require the design and construction of upgraded fire hydrant systems, supported by a site master plan that addresses internal road access, fire appliance access, hydrant coverage, emergency access, separation distances and adequate park spacing in accordance with the 2024 CFA guidelines. The ECM drawings are performance/reference information only; the Contractor is responsible for completing and certifying the detailed design under AS 4902.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure 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.
