Time to tender for three popular prime Beachfront Café Locations – Wollongong

If you do like to be beside the seaside, Wollongong City Council has three café business opportunities that will support you to do just that.

Right now, we’ve tenders open for Bulli Beach Café, Bulli Beach Tourist Café Kiosk and Corrimal Tourist Park Café Kiosk.

“This is a really exciting opportunity for the city and for café operators looking for opportunities in prime beach front locations,” Wollongong City Council General Manager Greg Doyle said.

“The three premises we currently have tenders out for are in much sought after locations that are already well-known to local foodies and café lovers. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes through the tender process, and I’m optimistic we’ll have some great new businesses for locals and tourists to support.”

The proposed lease term for the tender is a five plus five years, with the option for a longer lease term option subject to approval.

The details of the tenders are available on the Wollongong City Council e-Tendering Portal. This is also where interested parties can register.

Mr Doyle said Council regularly goes to market and undertakes competitive processes for capital and maintenance works projects across the city, the provision of certain services like road marking and kiosks, and for the use of our facilities for commercial programs like swim schools.

“While it is a legislative requirement for Council to carry out a competitive process when allowing for a commercial business to operate out of a Council owned and managed facility, it also allows us to ensure the service being delivered meets Council and the community’s needs,” he said.

“I have no doubt our community wants us to carry out this process in a fair, equitable and transparent way. I also know that our community will want to enjoy a nice flat white beachside on a sunny Sunday morning so I look forward to seeing these spaces thrive.”
