1. Risk Assessment.
Alpine Shire Council is seeking proposals from experienced and qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment of Mystic Mountain Bike Park. This assessment is aimed at identifying and evaluating various risks associated with the park, including those that may pose a threat to the park itself, as well as operational and governance risks to the Alpine Shire Council. The objective of this risk assessment is to provide the Council with actionable insights to mitigate and manage these risks effectively.
The primary objectives of this risk assessment are as follows:
• To identify and assess risks within Mystic Mountain Bike Park that may impact the safety, well-being, and experiences of park visitors, staff, and the surrounding environment.
• To evaluate, all relevant risks, including financial, reputation, operational and governance risks, that the Alpine Shire Council may face as a result of its association with Mystic Mountain Bike Park.
• To provide recommendations and mitigation strategies to address the identified risks and enhance the overall safety, sustainability, and success of the park.

2. Financial Modelling and Resource Implications
The Alpine Shire Council is seeking proposals from experienced financial consultants to undertake comprehensive financial modelling for Mystic Mountain Bike Park. The financial modelling aims to project the potential profit and loss (P&L) statements for the park on an annual basis.
The objective is to provide the Council with a clear understanding of the park's financial viability and to inform future financial planning and decision-making.
The purpose of this scope of work is to outline the tasks and deliverables required for the financial modelling project for Mystic Mountain Bike Park. The financial modelling will provide insights into the expected financial performance of the park over the next 5 years. The consultant's work should align with industry best practices and be based on accurate and realistic assumptions.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this financial modelling project are as follows:
Financial modelling:
• To project the annual profit and loss (P&L) statements for Mystic Mountain Bike Park over the specified period.
• To identify key revenue streams, cost elements, and profitability drivers.
• To provide the Alpine Shire Council with a clear understanding of the park's financial sustainability and potential return on investment (ROI).
• To assist the Council in making informed decisions related to park management, pricing strategies, and resource allocation.
Resource Allocation Assessment:
Establish a robust model of the resources required to support the operation from the Council's side. This assessment will prioritise a conservative estimation of the resources needed to prevent unexpected impositions on Council resources in the future.
Consider various aspects, such as the EOI process for the park operator and any associated costs that Council will need to cover.
Governance Resourcing Transparency:
Clarify the governance arrangements that will necessitate resources, even if the Council's position is that these arrangements will be absorbed within existing resources. This will provide transparency regarding the allocation of resources for governance purposes.

Due Diligence Resources:
Identify the necessary resources required to effectively conduct due diligence on the operations of the park, especially in its initial years when operational procedures are being established. This may include field inspection resources as part of an audit and compliance program.
Trail Ownership Implications
Investigate the resource and cost implications of potentially taking on Council-owned trails, such as Hot Wheels and the trails at Dinner Plain, as well as DEECA trails. This assessment will consider the management and maintenance requirements associated with trail ownership.
