The South Australian government supports partnerships built on mutual respect and trust between Aboriginal traditional owners, the community and industry. The Department for Environment and Water respects the rights and aspirations of traditional owners for their Country and supports nature-based tourism that values and respects Aboriginal people and their culture.

InvitationThe Department for Environment and Water (DEW) is seeking expressions of interest for new management, through lease or licence arrangements, over all or part of the former Belair Golf Course and Country Club (the site).

The new government wants to partner with the private sector to develop opportunities for more nature-based tourism experiences in South Australia’s natural environment. The return of the lease over the Belair Golf Course and Country Club provides an opportunity to reinvigorate the site and offer new experiences to benefit the visitors to Belair National Park.

It is vital that these initiatives strike a careful balance between conservation and economic development, raising the profile of our state, welcoming people into our parks, invigorating local economies and creating jobs.

Following extensive community consultation, DEW is now seeking expressions of interest (EOI) to manage this unique site. Ideally located, with its own private access entry road and various infrastructure, the site covers more than 50 hectares in the south-west corner of Belair National Park.

Developing a business in a park offers an opportunity to capitalise on the internationally recognised ‘National Parks’ brand. It also links your product or service to a health and wellbeing market, giving it distinctive appeal and a strong competitive advantage.

DEW welcomes proposals from a single operator to manage the entire site, proposals from multiple operators for parts of the site and proposals from community and local groups. This invitation to submit an EOI will lead to the shortlisting of proposals and selection for direct negotiation of lease or licence arrangements.

Please note that the buildings require investment prior to tenancy. DEW will also consider proposals for removal and replacement, subject to heritage considerations.

To arrange a site inspection please contact the Knight Frank representatives (see back page for contact details).

DEW invites you to submit your proposal by close of business 1 November 2018.

Ideally located in the hillside suburb of Belair in the backyard of metropolitan Adelaide, Belair National Park attracts more than 500,000 vistors each year.

Belair National Park is one of South Australia’s most loved destinations, attracting around 500,000 visitors each year. Set in beautiful natural bushland, the park is located at Belair in the Mount Lofty Ranges, 13 km and just 25 minutes south-east from Adelaide city centre.

HistoryThe Kaurna people have been the traditional custodians of the land in this area for hundreds of generations and maintain a strong Connection to Country through their cultural practices and commitments to Kaurna heritage, language and youth.

The park holds significance as South Australia’s first national park (1891) and the second national park in Australia after Royal National Park near Sydney (1879). Initially established after a decade-long campaign, it signified the growing public commitment at the time to retain natural areas for both conservation and recreation and is now a designated State Heritage Area in its own right.

Belair National Park provides for a variety of activities and facilities such as walking, horse riding and mountain biking trails, tennis courts and cricket ovals, picnic and BBQ facilities, as well as accommodating State Flora, South Australia’s oldest plant nursery, and Old Government House, a heritage-listed iconic Victorian residence. It is also one of the few relatively undisturbed areas of native vegetation in the Adelaide Hills region, making it an important refuge for native plants, animals and birdlife.

Golf course historyIn 1934, the Belair Golf Course was established in the south-west corner of the 835 hectare national park. The nine-hole course was extended to 18 holes in 1941 and was further redeveloped through clearing for the fairways on the western side of the course in the 1970s. The course was operated by National Parks until 1982 when a private business took over management via a commercial lease. Management of the site continued under various commercial lease arrangements until March 2018 when management of the site returned to DEW.

The proximity of the greater Belair National Park area and its facilities may provide mutual benefit to the future operations of the site, and the park. DEW anticipates that visitation will be greatly influenced by the quality, style, management and marketing of the proposed activity/business. It is recommended that proponents conduct their own research into anticipated visitation levels related to their proposal.

AccessThe former Golf Course and Country Club site has 24-hour access from a private road shared with Belair Holiday Park. The entrance is from Upper Sturt Road, 100 m south of the main vehicle entrance to Belair National Park. The private road leads to a carpark with 35 standard and two designated accessible parking spaces.

Bus Stop 27B is located 200 m from the private road entrance on Upper Sturt Road. Three additional bus stops are also located on the western and southern border of the site, along Upper Sturt Road (Stop 27C, Stop 28 and Stop 29). Pedestrian and cyclist access is via the private road entrance, as well as from access points along Upper Sturt Road or through Belair National Park.

Traditional ownersThe Kaurna people are recognised as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of the Adelaide plains and adjacent areas. The Kaurna connection to Belair specifically can be seen through a variety of on ground works including cultural tours, contributions to events (such as Cubby Town) and cultural site inspections.

DEW’s commitment to Kaurna reflects its broader support for partnerships built on mutual respect and trust between Aboriginal Traditional Owners, the community and industry. DEW respects the rights and aspirations of Traditional Owners for their Country and advocates for cooperative partnerships with the Kaurna Community to promote opportunities for Connection to Country and employment which will contribute to the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and communities.

DEW understands its obligations under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 (SA) (AHA) and is committed to the protection and continuation of living Kaurna culture and heritage in all its parks.

Proposals that consider working collaboratively with the Kaurna community will be viewed favourably.

A DEW Aboriginal engagement staff member will be available to provide assistance on request.

Friends of Old Government House and Friends of Belair National ParkBelair National Park is supported by two long established community groups whose members volunteer in, and provide support for, the protection and preservation of the natural and historical values of the Belair National Park and Old Government House.

The Friends of Belair National Park provide cultural and social activities for both its members and the general public.

The Friends of Old Government House are an active group of volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds with a common interest in preserving Old Government House and its gardens.

Both groups raise funds for special projects and provide voluntary assistance to the park in close cooperation and liaison with DEW staff.

Heritage In 1985, Belair National Park was declared as a State Heritage Area under the then South Australian Heritage Act 1978-1980.

The whole park is significant for the manner in which it displays the government and society’s approach to recreation and conservation together and for the physical fabric which embodies those values and for all specific places separately listed. This approach has been adapted over time so that future change can be accommodated without necessarily threatening the heritage values of the park.

Evidence of the park’s ongoing history and development under the management of appointed Commissioners is apparent in the ovals, pavilions, exotic tree plantings and other improvements which reflect ever changing conceptions of recreation and conservation.

Biodiversity Belair National Park is classified as a Natural Monument (IUCN category III), described as a protected area managed mainly for the conservation of specific natural features in the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges region. The park is home to many native species, including rare and endangered mammals, reptiles and amphibians with more than 130 native bird species being transient visitors to the park.

The park’s topography is varied, ranging from the gently undulating land of the western portion to the more rugged ridges and valleys of the eastern portion.

The former Belair Golf Course and Country Club site includes contains significant areas of intact native vegetation covering approximately half of the site. The vegetation contains both state threatened species under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 and the nationally threatened Grey Box (Eucalyptus microcarpa) grassy woodlands Community. The vegetation is of significance given the high levels of species diversity and it’s connectivity to more expansive areas of vegetation within Belair National Park.

Proposals for use of the site should clearly aim to maintain and enhance the areas of good quality native vegetation and to consolidate and expand areas of existing vegetation to form larger and more significant patches of vegetation. Management of weeds and public access within areas of native vegetation will need to be clearly addressed to prevent any future decline in the vegetation.

Belair National Park Caravan ParkThe Belair Caravan Park has provided accommodation for guests attending events and functions at the adjacent golf course and function centre since the early 1980s and is operated under separate lease arrangements with DEW.

Located on approximately 4 hectares in the south-west portion of the Belair National Park, the Belair Caravan Park contains the following:

• 11 ensuite cabins

• 9 standard cabins

• 6 ensuite glamping tents

• 41 powered and 30 unpowered sites

• campers’ kitchen and barbecue areas

• swimming pool

• playground

The Belair Caravan Park business is available for purchase. To enquire about this separate opportunity please contact the agent for the Belair Caravan Park:

Important notes for proponentsThis document is provided to assist proponents in making their own appraisal of the opportunity presented herein and in deciding whether to submit an EOI. The information regarding this opportunity is not, however, intended to serve as the basis for an investment decision on the opportunity. Each proponent is expected to make such independent investigation and to obtain such independent advice as they may deem necessary for such a decision.

Proponents preparing and submitting an EOI should note that this invitation is not an offer but is an invitation to interested parties to lodge a submission and demonstrate their capability to perform in accordance with their submission. Additionally, the submission of an EOI does not place any obligation on the proponent, or on DEW, to proceed to the negotiation stage.

Proponents should note that all fittings and equiptment shown, are for illustrative purposes only.

The invitation or the selection of a preferred proponent/s to enter the next stage of the process will not in itself be deemed to create any binding contract (including a process contract) between DEW and the proponent/s, nor should it create any expectation on the part of the proponent, until a final legal agreement has been executed by both parties.

Planning and legislation may affect your proposal. The pathway for statutory approvals may differ depending on your business proposal. For information on best practice visit www.parks.sa.gov.au/newbusiness.

Building and water supply infrastructureAll built facilities require upgrade prior to occupation. Water supply infrastructure for the former golf course requires major refurbishment. Proposals for building removal and replacement will be considered, subject to heritage considerations. Proponents are encouraged to discuss facilities and water supply infrastructure with the Knight Frank representatives prior to submission.

Sale of the Belair Holiday ParkAny information regarding the sale of the Belair Holiday Park business is the responsibility of the current owner, and proponents may engage in negotiations with the current leaseholders at their own discretion. DEW accepts no responsibility for and makes no representations as to the commerciality of the Belair Holiday Park or of any proposed purchase terms.

Reservation of rightsNotwithstanding any contrary provision of this EOI invitation, DEW may evaluate the EOI submission, and any selection or shortlisting of proponents in connection with the opportunity, in a manner it thinks fit.
