Respondents may nominate one or more of these sites and may also propose alternative sites within Banyule for Council’s consideration.Council’s preferred approach is to facilitate the commercial rollout of public EV charging infrastructure through an agreement with successful respondents. Under the proposed arrangement, successful respondents will be responsible for funding, installing, operating and maintaining the charging infrastructure for the agreed term, and will pay Council an annual fee for each approved site, in accordance with the final agreement.Respondents are invited to outline their proposed sites, charging solutions, commercial offer, delivery approach and ongoing operating arrangements. Council is seeking proposals that demonstrate technical capability, commercial viability, reliable service delivery and accessible public charging for the community.This EOI is intended to help Council understand the market’s interest, capabilities and proposed solutions before determining the next steps in the procurement process.
