The fact we're the only bid to state our plan is a positive?
Why award it to someone with no idea what it could be used for?

Also from the community oriented angle (ie going out of our way to outline how it will integrate into the community, which it sounds like will get a fair bit of weighting in the decision).

Where did you get that from? It seems We're the only bidder that has provided our plan to the relevant council but that's got nothing to do with the RSA process. The other bids will be just as detailed as ours and would outline exactly what each square metre would be used for.

Again, the community oriented weighting won't be diminished in other tenders because they haven't provided their details to the council. The tender is assessed on its merits, it's not a joint tender with council, that we threw them a copy won't impact anything.
 


Sounds like Thebarton is the winner. Split between Thebarton and having admin near AO.


This video doesn't play, and splitting the club between two locations defeats the purpose of having a HQ and is ultimately a loser, not a winner

Fixed your link.

If they're going to split locations, why not just put all the admin into one of the many vacant and affordable office spaces in the CBD, use the medical facilities at a nearby clinic, and rent out a spare oval in the parklands a few days a week for training, it makes about as much sense and costs a lot less.
