provisions of this EOI and who are accepted by the Principal to be placed on a prequalified shortlist.

Part 1
READ AND KEEP THIS PART
The submission of an EOI does not commit the Principal to include any organisation on
the shortlist in the event that the project proceeds.
Your Submission will be evaluated using information provided in your EOI and on your
response to the Selection Criteria.
The following Evaluation Methodology will be used in respect of this Expression of
Interest:
a) Submissions are checked for completeness and compliance. Submissions that
do not contain all information requested may be excluded from evaluation;
b) Submission are assessed against the Selection Criteria; and
c) The most suitable Respondents may be shortlisted and may also be required to
clarify the Submission and/or make a presentation. Referees may also be
contacted prior to the selection of the successful Respondent.
1.17 Selection Criteria
The Principal has adopted a best value for money approach to this EOI. This means
that, although price is considered, the Respondent containing the best price will not
necessarily be accepted, nor will the Submission ranked the highest in the qualitative
criteria.
A scoring system will be used as part of the assessment of the qualitative criteria set out
in Part 3. Unless otherwise stated, a response to one of these criteria which provides all
the information requested in the Expression of Interest will be assessed as satisfactory
and will, in the first instance, attract an average score.
The extent to which the Submission demonstrates greater or lesser satisfaction of each
of these criteria will result in a score greater or lesser than the average. The aggregate
score of each Submission will be used as one of the factors in the final assessment of
the qualitative criteria and in the overall assessment of value for money.
1.18 Compliance Criteria
These criteria are detailed within Part 3 of this document and will not be point scored.
Each Submission will be assessed on a “Yes/No” basis as to whether the criterion is
satisfactorily met. An assessment of “No” against any criterion may eliminate the
Submission from consideration.

Part 1
READ AND KEEP THIS PART
1.19 Qualitative Criteria
In determining the most advantageous Submission, the Evaluation Panel will score each
Respondent against the qualitative criteria as detailed within Part 3 of this document.
Each criterion will be weighted to indicate the relative degree of importance that the
Principal places on the technical aspects of the goods or services being purchased.
Note: It is essential that Respondents address each qualitative criterion.
Information that you provide addressing each qualitative criterion will be point scored by
the Evaluation Panel.
Failure to provide the specified information may result in elimination from the evaluation
process or a low score.
A rating scale will be applied to scoring from Zero (meets no criteria, unacceptable
response) to ten (superior response that meets and exceeds criteria).
1.20 Pricing
Pricing is not within the scope of this Expression of Interest. Pricing will feature in any
resulting restricted RFT. Successful Respondents will be provided with an opportunity
to provide pricing if and when the restricted Request for Tender is issued.
1.21 Ownership of Submissions
All documents, materials, articles and information submitted by the Respondent as part
of or in support of a Submission shall become upon submission the absolute property
of the Principal PROVIDED that the Respondent shall be entitled to retain copyright and
other intellectual property rights therein, unless otherwise provided by the Contract.
1.22 Canvassing of Officials
If a Respondent, whether personally or by agent, canvasses any of the Principal’s
Commissioners or Councillors (as the case may be) or Officers with a view to influencing
the acceptance of any Respondent, then regardless of such canvassing having any
influence on the acceptance of such Submission, the Principal may at its discretion omit
the Respondent from consideration.

through this tool. EOI submissions will be opened at WALGA, Level 1, 170 Railway

Deadline.
The names of the entities who submitted an EOI response by the due Deadline will be

2.1 Introduction
The Principal is inviting Submissions from interested parties for the lease and
development of Reserve 50101, Edel Location 106, Monkey Mia for aquaculture and
associated tourism activities. Respondents will need to incorporate activities that reflect
the cultural, environmental, geographical and historical values of the area.

region and should boost the economic diversity of the Principal. Respondents must
demonstrate that the lease of the Reserve will be of benefit to the wider community.
The successful Respondent will manage the facility in accordance with Shire of Shark
Bay’s tourist facilities regulations.

2.2 Background Information
Located near the town of Denham on the Peron Peninsula, this protected area is housed
within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. Monkey Mia is famous for its dolphin
interaction experience, a rare encounter with wild animals that has become a major
tourism attraction.
The original Dolphin Information Centre was opened in the 1980s and sealed roads were
built in 1985, which dramatically increased the number of visitors to Monkey Mia. In
1990, the waters surrounding Monkey Mia were officially declared a marine park and in
2001, the Monkey Mia Visitors Centre was opened by the Western Australian
Government Department of Environment and Conservation.
Visitor numbers have fluctuated between 85,000 to 115,000 over the last decade. With
significant developments planned at the adjacent Monkey Mia resort visitor numbers to
the area should substantially increase.
2.3 Scope of Work
2.3.1 Site Location and Access
Monkey Mia is located on the eastern coast of the Peron Peninsula, the Shark Bay
World Heritage Area. It is about 26 kilometres from the town of Denham and 19
kilometres from the local airport. The nearest town, Denham, is 300 kilometres south
of Carnarvon and 831 kilometres north of Perth by road. The driving time from Perth
is about 10 hours. There is a scheduled air service operating from Perth to Shark Bay
four times a week during peak tourist periods.
2.3.2 Site Development Envelope
The area of interest is situated at Monkey Mia and comprises 7.7326 hectares.
A 1.5 hectare area from within the reserve will be set aside for use of the native title
claimant group in the area (the Malgana people), to be leased on reasonable terms. If
the land, so identified, is not utilized for the designated purpose by the Malgana people
within ten years of the date of this order (3 April 2014) requirement lapses and has no
further effect.

Area subject to EOI outlined in red.
2.3.3 Denham Facilities
Denham is the main town of the Shark Bay area providing a limited range of services
and amenities for visitors and local residents and is located about 30 minutes from the
Monkey Mia site. With a permanent population of up to 1,000 people, it has clean, safe
swimming beaches, a boat ramp, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, medical facilities,
vehicle repair services and food outlets. It may be possible that some staff and
supporting facilities can be accommodated in Denham and travel to the site as
required.
2.3.4 Water Supply
The site has currently no access to town water supplies. Any new development would
need to provide its own water supply.
2.3.5 Power Supply
The site has currently no power supply. Respondents are required to identify how they
would provide power and demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the supply is
environmentally sustainable.
EOI 1/2017 Lease for Development and Operation of Aquaculture and Tourist Activities – Monkey Mia
Page 19 of 22
2.3.6 Lease Conditions
Reserve 50101, Edel Location 106 is vested in the Shire of Shark Bay by way of a
Management Order for the purpose of “Aquaculture and Associated Tourism activities”
with the power to lease for a period up to 21 years subject to Ministerial consent.
The leasing of the Reserve to the preferred Respondent will be subject to Council
approval.
2.4 Specific Requirements of the Lease
The primary goal for management of the Reserve is to fulfil the demand for recreation
by members of the public consistent with the proper maintenance of the natural
environment and the protection of indigenous flora and fauna. This includes:

maintain natural values and visitor experiences;

protect the cultural values of the area;

minimise environmental impacts;

maintain and improve the quality of existing recreational opportunities;

ensure sustainable recreation by portraying a strong conservation education
message; and

preserve the land for Aboriginal culture and heritage.
2.4.1 Shark Bay World Heritage Values
Respondents should note that due to the site’s location within a World Heritage area,
approvals for any development will likely be subject to assessment under both the
Environmental Protection Act 1986 (WA) and the Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth).
2.4.2 Environmental Protection Act 1986 (WA) (EP Act)
There is an expectation that any development proposed for the Shark Bay World
Heritage area will be carefully assessed in terms of its environmental impact and as
part of the approval process it may need to demonstrate that the values for which the
area has been listed as World Heritage are not compromised.
2.4.3 Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (CTH) (EPBC
Act)
Respondents should be aware that the EPBC Act provides for the protection of the
environment, especially matters of national environmental significance.
