Three new venues boost Logan’s café culture
City of Logan residents will soon be able to have their cake and eat it too, with three new cafés proposed for public spaces across the city.
Logan City Council will call for tenders for the operation of café services at three sites:
- 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 across the city.
“A café culture is growing across our city and we’ve had a number of requests from businesses to operate some of these facilities,” Cr Koranski said.
“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 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.
“Council supports existing and new businesses in our city and is committed to creating jobs and improving amenity.
“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.”
The tender process will be open to commercial operators, community organisations or social enterprises with a focus on providing quality service to the community while also demonstrating a commitment to positive social outcomes.
Operators can tender for one or more of the sites.
Tenders for the three locations will open next month.
