Goulburn-Murray Water is inviting expressions of interest for potential leasing, licensing or other commercial arrangements across 14 parcels of land in the wider Lake Eildon region.

The sites are located across Bonnie Doon, Woodfield, Goughs Bay, Maindample and Mansfield and include lakeside, foreshore, township and rural landholdings.

G-MW general manager water storage services Jon McKeown said the EOI opportunity may suit a number of different proposals.

This includes proposals relating to tourism, visitor services, hospitality, accommodation, recreation, environmental initiatives, infrastructure, utilities, renewable energy, telecommunications or other compatible uses.

“Lake Eildon is one of Victoria’s most visited recreational areas, attracting around 200,000 visitors a year,” Mr McKeown said.

“We’re eager to explore a range of opportunities with interested parties which will help unlock the full potential of the region.”

Mr McKeown said it was important that EOIs aligned with existing land uses, the surrounding environment and the strategic objectives of the Activating Lake Eildon Masterplan.

“We are committed to supporting projects that deliver community, economic, and environmental benefits,” he said.

“We also acknowledge and respect the Taungurung Land and Waters Council as Traditional Owners of the Lake Eildon region and will ensure all developments align with cultural heritage and environmental values.”

Respondents may submit proposals for one or more sites, either individually, in part, in whole or as combined proposals where practical and consistent with site conditions, access, planning requirements and G-MW’s operational needs. All EOIs will be evaluated on price, organisational capability, business plan, community benefit and experience.

Interested parties must register via G-MW’s eProcure portal: app.eprocure.com.au/gmwater/home/public

Expressions of interest close at 5pm on February 1, 2027.
