Having been on the Government receiving end of a few of these marvellously charitable private proposals many years ago, they usually revolve around:
1. A nice little Government grant to build private facilities, and/or,
2. A nice little council or State Government grant of land, on which to build and operate the facility, and/or,
3. Getting State Government support in the form of a letter, then heading off to China to spruik the deal to overseas investors as a representative of the NSW Government selling shares in a "Government approved project" - they will take tiny fee of course for their trouble. To put that another way, the operator is a "main chancer" who talks a good game but has no substance.
Sometimes the proposer asserts that they are related to. or part of, the Asian Government concerned just to suck you in. A Victorian company spent $2 million on writing a proposal for one of these types for what they were told was a Government project that wasn't.
Following disastrous Victorian Government grants to private job creation projects like this in the 1980's - in which various scheme proponents just took the money and ran overseas, or worse. The VIctorian Parliament set up FMEG - financial management evaluation group to vet these wonderful private proposals, starting with Dun and Bradstreet reports and finishing with Three years audited accounts and bank records. You would be amazed at how many exquisite proposals (for example new woollen mills adding value locally with thousands of jobs etc.) ended up in FMEGs rubbish bin.
To put that another way, good NSW public servants will have seen hundreds of these pipe dreams over the years and know how to deal with them. Most are bull****.
P.S. But wait, theres more…
The latest trick by Chinese is to come to Australia and buy about half the units in an off the plan development, then take lots of videos of yourself at the construction site, posing with workers, looking at plans, talking with engineers, wearing a hard hat, etc., etc.
..You then fly back to China where you pose as the developer yourself, showing your video of course - Chinese like to deal face to face with someone they think they can trust….and flog the units at inflated prices for all they are worth.
