Council resolved at its meeting in August 2023 to enter into formal leasing arrangements with two proposed tenants of the key spaces of the new Normanville SLSC & Café/Kiosk building:

  • the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club INC. on non-commercial terms; and
  • Kenton Day (Firkin Burger PTY LTD) on commercial terms.

The administration is now authorised to carry out lease preparations for the Normanville SLSC & Café/Kiosk tenancies and has an obligation under Section 202(2) of the Local Government Act 1999, as well as its Public Consultation Policy to undertake community consultation where leases or licenses are granted by Council for the use of community land that are in excess of 5 years.

Non-commercial lease with Normanville Surf Life Saving Club INC.

The Council intends to enter into formal leasing arrangements with the Normanville SLSC on non-commercial terms for a period of 21 years. This will allow the Club to continue to provide Surf Life Saving services to local beachgoers and visitors along our coastline, as well as retain the strong culture of community service from its membership base.

Commercial lease with Kenton Day (Firkin Burger PTY LTD)

A 'Recommendation Panel' comprising representatives from Savills Real Estate, Mayor Houston, Deputy Mayor Moffat, the CEO, Director of Assets and Environment, and independent member Amanda Blair, undertook the task of reviewing and evaluating submissions to shortlist and provide recommendations to the Council. After careful consideration, Kenton Day (Firkin Burger PTY LTD) emerged as the candidate with the most compelling plan for the tenancy, receiving unanimous support.

What's next?

Both leases are yet to be executed and will be finalised following the public consultation period.

    Gill asked 7 months ago

    Thank you for your feedback, Gill! The Council greatly acknowledges SLSC's role as an emergency service provider. Their dedicated patrols and unwavering commitment to the goal of zero deaths from drowning is evident in their water safety programs. Whilst this is a known and core function of the club it also establishes a sense of security for all beach users at the Normanville Foreshore.

    Vandepeer asked 8 months ago

    Thank you for the feedback and question, Vandepeer. Specific maintenance obligations for both the lessee (Normanville SLSC) and Landlord (Council) will be itemised within the lease at the commencement of the operations to set clear expectations around maintenance obligations for each party. To ensure maintenance, repairs and upgrades to a building by a lessee occur effectively, landlords typically include specific provisions in the lease agreement. These provisions help outline the responsibilities and procedures and reporting requirements for maintenance and repairs and when spelt out clearly up front, it sets up both parties to have the greatest likelihood of success.

  • Share Hi. Why is 1 buisness on a small area of rate payers land paying commercial terms And SLSC on a much bigger area with a more substantial lease area and many trucks of concrete , about 50 plus paying nothing That's discrimination by giving 1 operator faverable terms and the other a commercial lease ? I can see a very unfair disadvantage straight away. Are both areas similar in size on a square area ? What is current tenant paying per square area or by turnover ? SLSD must pay the same or it is clearly a court issue to unfair advantage clearly driven to remove the current buisness out of buisness. Maybe this needs to be bought to the attention of the district area or news paper. Personaly I would take the issue to court. But that's me on Facebook Share Hi.

    Kirk & Suzan asked 8 months ago

    Thanks for the questions - Structuring the leases differently is essential to align the terms, conditions, and objectives of the lease agreements with the distinct goals, activities, and financial considerations of each type of tenant. This customisation ensures that the leases are fair, legally compliant, and supportive of their respective purposes. This has been outlined in the key documents in that the rent and manner of payment for the Normanville SLSC is being negotiated in two components with the $1 applicable to the emergency services functions of the Club. This type of arrangement both underscores the community oriented and non-commercial nature of the club and its operations and also recognises that there is potential for the club to generate additional income via larger scale hospitality initiatives (which might even be in collaboration with the other commercial tenant). Where that may be the case, the Council has suggested that they would like there to be an approval process in addition to consideration for additional rent. Check out Item 5 (Rent and Manner of Payment and 6 (Permitted Use) via this  Link  for additional detail.

    Des asked 8 months ago

    Thanks for the comment, Des!  Council absolutely recognise the Normanville SLSC as a project partner and significant financial contributor to the current building project. Beyond the partnership, and with the SLSC being an emergency service provider, their diligent patrols and commitment to water safety create a secure environment. This instills trust, enabling residents and visitors to enjoy our pristine shores worry-free. This is proposed to be recognised within the lease in that the rent and manner of payment will be negotiated in two separate components.

    Bazza asked 8 months ago

    Hi Bazza - Thanks for your question. Council absolutely recognises the SLSC's significant community contribution and therefore will tailor our discussion to specifically balance their needs and their unique offering. As you can see in the key lease information document, the rent structure is proposed to be different from the commercial tenant - noting that its final details are in negotiation.
