Expression of Interest Provision of food and beverages in Kingston

What do we need?

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts is looking for entrepreneurs to provide food and beverages from one or more sites in Kingston over the coming months.

Every idea will be considered, no matter how big or small.

What’s in it for you?

• An opportunity to dip your toe into the market – test an idea or expand your existing business
• A space to conduct your business with support from the Kingston team to develop your chosen space.

Why are we offering this opportunity?

This request is one of the recommendations from the Kingston Site Master Plan. The Site Master plan is available at the library or online: Public consultation, projects and publications | Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (norfolkisland.gov.au)

Last year, we tested the market through an EOI process for potential operators for the provision of food and beverages in the site, which was successful. This is another opportunity for potential operators.

What do I need to submit?

Your proposal should include:

• What is your food and beverage business idea? This includes where you envisage your outlet/pop-up being located, proposed hours of operation, service offering, equipment/furnishings to be used, and anything else important to your proposal.
• What assistance you will require from the department, for example, access to water, power, etc.

How will my proposal be assessed?

The Kingston team and KAVHA Advisory Committee will treat all proposals as commercial-in-confidence and assess each proposal individually on ease of implementation, frequency of service, service offering and need for support from the department.

Successful proposals will be required to enter into a site use agreement and apply to Council for the necessary permits. All power costs are to be paid by the provider.

Please send your expression of interest for this exciting opportunity to KAVHASecretariat@infrastructure.gov.au by 5pm on 22 November 2024.
