Project Update 2024

Following a confidential report to councillors at the December 2023 Ordinary meeting, Council authorised the Interim General Manager to enter into negotiations with original tenderers and other suitable contractors for the delivery of the Multipurpose Centre using a new set of price and non-price criteria for the purposes of achieving value for money. This process is currently underway.

Project Background

In July 2021, Snowy Valley Council received funding of $10,685,000 from the NSW Government and Commonwealth Government’s Local Economic Recovery Fund to build a Multipurpose Centre in Tumut which has sufficient capacity to double as an Evacuation Centre in times of emergency.

Initial planning and design works were undertaken for a proposed site on the Snowy Mountains Highway at the top of the Bull Paddock, however Council later agreed to scope out alternative site locations with a view to reducing construction costs.

A community working group was set up to consider the best location options. Following site investigations at Richmond Park and several locations within Lockeridge Park, a parcel of Council managed land at Lockeridge Park was approved for the development. Click here to read the full media release.

Tenders for the design and construction of the facility were invited in May 2023, concept designs were developed as a guide for tenderers. Click here to view the designs.

A confidential report was presented to Councillors at their June Ordinary Meeting and the determination of the tender was put on hold.
