One of Tasmania\u2019s most distinctive heritage properties is looking for a new operator for the first time in 10 years.<\/p>\n

The Low Head Historic Site will be available to run later this year, offering a rare chance to manage a complex tourism venture steeped in seafaring history.<\/p>\n

Acting Parks Minister Madeleine Ogilvie said the opportunity would suit someone with a clear vision for the site\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur state has a rich built heritage, with many iconic sites managed by the Tasmanian Government for the benefit of all Tasmanians,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Low Head Historic Site is seeking a new operator after a decade under current management<\/p>\n

The Low Head site features the Pilot Station Museum, an onsite caf\u00e9 and unique accommodation options for visitors.<\/p>\n

It comes after a fire tore through part of the site in November, causing damage to a historic cottage.<\/p>\n

\"\"The historic Pilot Station Museum forms part of Low Head tourism complex<\/p>\n

Ogilvie said successful applicants would need to demonstrate practical skills, experience and financial capacity to run the tourism operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will also need to demonstrate an understanding of the historical significance of Low Head and a commitment to work with the volunteers who play a vital role in showcasing our history,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

An independent panel will evaluate expressions of interest and recommend a preferred operator.<\/p>\n

The lease and licence arrangements include appropriate conditions and fixed terms designed to deliver the best outcomes for the site.<\/p>\n

Potential operators will have several months to consider the opportunity before the formal expression of interest process opens.<\/p>\n
