“We want to identify a new operator with the vision and capability to leverage strong local community support for the facility,” Mr Clarke said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“City of Newcastle works hard to ensure the things we want and need are nearby and easily accessible, so it’s important to retain this facility for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re open to considering different approaches and models for the operation of Beresfield Golf Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To ensure the EOI results in a suitable outcome, we’ve engaged an external agent to manage the leasing campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“City of Newcastle will assess the submissions based on criteria such as demonstrated financial capacity, expertise in operating similar facilities, staffing plans, and a five-year business plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
