Café/Kiosk Lease Opportunity in Newcastle’s Revamped Foreshore Park

30 September 2024

Experienced hospitality operators are being invited to stake their claim in Newcastle’s iconic Foreshore Park, as the City of Newcastle and Commercial Collective announce a leasing opportunity for a new café/kiosk at 7 Bond Street, Newcastle NSW 2300.

The 41.10-square-metre venue is set to become a vibrant hub within the soon-to-be revitalised Foreshore Park, a beloved 11-hectare public space stretching along Newcastle Harbour. The café/kiosk is a key element of the Foreshore Park Masterplan, which aims to enhance visitor experiences with a new playground, upgraded event spaces, and a cultural walk celebrating the area’s rich history and Indigenous heritage.

“This is an exceptional opportunity for a hospitality operator to make a lasting impact in a cherished community space,” said a spokesperson from Commercial Collective. “The café/kiosk will become a social hub where people can gather and appreciate the beauty of Newcastle’s waterfront.”

Key Features of the Lease Opportunity:

Warm Shell Handover: The site is delivered as a warm shell, equipped with essential infrastructure including a grease arrestor, exhaust fan connection point, and dual sliding service windows designed to streamline operations during busy periods.
Prime Location: Situated within Foreshore Park, the café/kiosk will serve as an exclusive amenity in one of Newcastle’s most popular public spaces.
Flexible Operations: Operators have the flexibility to offer fresh, wholesome food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, cater to special events, and provide park-friendly takeaway options.

Foreshore Park has long been integral to Newcastle’s social and cultural fabric. Historically an industrial hub housing the former Newcastle Railway Station and goods yard, the area has transformed over the years into a vibrant public space. The park is renowned for its expansive green lawns, playgrounds, picnic areas, and scenic walking paths, making it a favourite destination for both locals and tourists.

The introduction of the café/kiosk is seen as a significant step towards realising the vision for Foreshore Park as a premier destination for recreation, events, and cultural activities. The revitalisation efforts reflect Newcastle’s evolution from an industrial city to a modern urban centre focused on community and lifestyle.

Expressions of Interest are now open and will close on 31 October 2024 at 4 pm. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Commercial Collective’s agents, Sebastian Kavanagh and Sarah Willcox, for more information.
