Exciting Hospitality Opportunity for Lease in Revamped Foreshore Park

Newcastle, NSW, October 2024 – Foreshore Park, one of Newcastle’s most well-known park grounds, will soon feature a café/kiosk. Commercial Collective is currently accepting Expressions of Interest until October 31st, 2024, followed by a selective tender process.

Situated at 7 Bond Street, overlooking Newcastle's Harbour, Foreshore Park, located within the 11-hectare Foreshore Precinct, is a well-loved destination for both locals and visitors, featuring playgrounds, picnic areas, and scenic pathways. The City of Newcastle (CN) is currently constructing a new café/kiosk as part of their Foreshore Park Masterplan and is seeking an experienced operator to provide a family-oriented menu and exceptional service to park-goers. The leasing opportunity includes a café/kiosk space with separate kitchen and service areas and dual sliding service windows.

“Foreshore Park is a major draw for Newcastle, and this new café/kiosk will be an exciting addition”, said Sebastian Kavanagh, Senior Executive, Commercial Collective. “This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator to be part of a thriving community space with high foot traffic and great visibility,” said Mr. Kavanagh.

As the largest area of open space along The Foreshore, the City of Newcastle is enhancing the park’s appeal through the Foreshore Park Masterplan. The masterplan includes an expanded accessible playground, improved event spaces, upgraded facilities—including the café/kiosk—and further development of the existing amphitheatre, along with a cultural walk.

“We’re looking for an operator who can bring a vibrant and family-friendly offer to this iconic location,” said Sarah Willcox, Associate Director, Commercial Collective. “The new café/kiosk will not only serve visitors to the park but will also become an integral part of the community, providing easily accessible park-ready food and drinks within this popular gathering place for families, friends, and visitors,” said Ms Willcox.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator to be part of an evolving community space. With the planned upgrades and enhancements, Foreshore Park is set to become an even more attractive destination, creating an excellent setting for a thriving hospitality venue.
