About this tender
Canterbury Regional Council (CRC), listed on GETS as Environment Canterbury, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for market research on West Melton Reserve, a parcel of land CRC holds. The council wants feedback on whether parties could lease some or all of the reserve to develop and operate a solar energy project, or a mixed solar and farming development. CRC is interested in approaches that combine renewable energy generation and/or light grazing with ecological protection and enhancement. The RFI is a market-sounding exercise. CRC wants to understand the market's view on the viability, desirability and potential delivery models for the site. It is not a request for a binding bid or a contract award at this stage. The tender is open from 19 October 2026 and closes on 27 November 2026 at 12:00 PM (Pacific/Auckland, UTC+13:00). No contract term, lease length, rent or delivery timeline is stated on the page.
