Commonwealth Place and its surrounds on the southern side of Lake Burley Griffin will become even more lively and vibrant this Spring with two new visitor experiences opening. These experiences will complement the existing “Jetty” food and music venue that opened last Spring.
The first is ‘The Little Burley Market’ which will be open in the “cup area” of Commonwealth Place every Saturday from 17September to end of May 2023 from 9:00am to 1:30pm. It will bring together a range of vendors where people can wander through interesting stalls featuring local products against the spectacular backdrop of the lake.
Meanwhile, from November, visitors and locals alike will be able to enjoy a new European-style relaxed dining experience at West Kiosk, right by the edge of Lake Burley Griffin at West Jetty. The new bar named ‘Margot Espresso Vin and Fromage’ (Margot) will specialise in local wines, curated cheeses and quality morning espresso.
Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain said these new experiences will add to the vibrant atmosphere around Lake Burley Griffin in the warmer months.
“I am pleased to announce that the NCA has confirmed that Sustainable Valuables Pty Ltd will shape the new lakeside attraction, following an open tender process,” Minister McBain said.
