REPORT PURPOSE<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this report is to seek Council approval for an additional option right in<br />
regards to the Helicopters New Zealand Pty Ltd proposed lease <strong>of</strong> Lot 31 at Karratha<br />
Airport.<br />
Background<br />
Council, at the meeting held on 15 December 2008, considered the tender received by<br />
Helicopters New Zealand Pty Ltd (RFT KAP04-08/09) Item 9.2.2. Council subsequently<br />
approved the tender as per the below:<br />
Res No : 14541<br />
That Council resolve to award tender Karratha Airport Lease <strong>of</strong> Land – Lot 31<br />
KAP04-08/09 to Helicopters NZ Pty Ltd and approves the entering into a lease<br />
arrangement, for a term <strong>of</strong> 25 years, for the amount <strong>of</strong> $49,000 p.a. (excluding GST).<br />
Issues<br />
Correspondence has subsequently been received from Helicopters NZ seeking an<br />
additional option term <strong>of</strong> 17 years in regards to the proposed lease.<br />
If Helicopters NZ sought this option after the expiry <strong>of</strong> the initial 25 year term, then as per<br />
the lease arrangements it will be their responsibility to apply in writing not more than 6<br />
months or less than 3 months before the expiration <strong>of</strong> the term, advising <strong>of</strong> their intention to<br />
exercise the option. Provided there has been no breach during the initial term <strong>of</strong> the lease<br />
arrangements; then the Lessor (<strong>Shire</strong>) would be required to exercise the lease option.<br />
Options<br />
Council now has the option <strong>of</strong> approving the lease with the addition <strong>of</strong> an option term <strong>of</strong> a<br />
further 17 years.<br />
Policy Implications<br />
There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.<br />
