Tender opportunity
DOC has decided to run an open tender process to determine the most suitable tender for the grazing opportunity at Blackstone Hill Conservation Area.
This is a process implemented under Section 17ZG(2)(a) of the Conservation Act 1987, and while the open tender process is in place, DOC will not be accepting concession applications.
Tenders are not an application for a concession.
Tenders will be evaluated, and the successful tender applicant may be invited to apply for a concession to graze Blackstone Hill Conservation Area. Concession applications will be processed under a separate concessions process.
Timeline
The tender opportunity opens Wednesday 30 October 2024 and closed 4 pm, Tuesday 26 November 2024.
