Normanville SLSC & Cafe/Kiosk Leases

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.
