Some might argue there’s no worse time to start a business, but Council is still keen to call tenders for three sites in city-owned parklands.
Council has already been encouraged by “a number of requests” to operate these facilities.
The proposed cafes are at:
- Underwood Park
- Berrinba Wetlands
- Logan Village Green
City Lifestyle Committee Chair, Councillor Laurie Koranski said Council was continually looking at different ways to improve public spaces.
“The recent redevelopment of Underwood Park and the current upgrade of Logan Village Green has given Council the opportunity to go to tender for all three locations at the same time,” Cr Koranski said.
She said Council was delivering on feedback from the community for more café facilities in parks and other public spaces.
“These are venues already enjoyed by various sporting clubs, families, community groups and people enjoying the outdoors,” she said.
“Offering a café service is value-adding to these already popular locations and helping to build tourism in the city.
“These new cafes are an additional opportunity for those in the hospitality industry who have been impacted by the pandemic to get back on their feet or start a new venture.”
Operators can tender for one or more of the sites.
Tenders for the three locations will open next month.
