Yarra Council is seeking Expressions of Interest from parties interested in the occupancy and ongoing use of the Victoria Park Social Club (Bob Rose) building. Applications close at 4.00pm, Monday 29 March 2010.

Council is seeking to achieve optimal occupancy and maximise community access to the Victoria Park grounds and facilities by opening up Victoria Park as a home base for organisations, agencies and service providers that address local community needs and contribute to capital, operating and maintenance costs.

Organisations seeking to use or occupy the building will be required to demonstrate how their proposed occupancy will deliver services and ongoing benefits to the local Yarra community as well as provide a good fit with other potential users of the Victoria Park Precinct.  

Consortia or groups of organisations who might offer lead tenant and internal building management services under agreed terms and lease conditions are encouraged to apply.
