Hilltops Council is continuing to progress the reinstatement of the Harden Administration Building, with key milestones achieved in the tender and assessment process.
A Request for Tender for the reinstatement works was released on 31 March 2026 and closed on 13 May 2026.
Following the close of tenders, Council’s Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC) undertook a detailed assessment of submissions in accordance with the prescribed evaluation process. A preferred tenderer was subsequently identified and a Tender Evaluation Report prepared.
The report and supporting documentation were then provided to Council’s insurance provider for review as part of the insurance assessment process.
Following its review, the insurer requested additional information relating to the tender submissions. This information has now been supplied to support the ongoing assessment.
Council recognises the community’s strong interest in the reinstatement of the Harden Administration Building and will provide updates as the project progresses.
