The Council invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from organisations and individuals to operate a new café in the Hive – the new Cultural Precinct building currently under construction in Ulverstone.

The Hive development will provide a modern hub for local and regional tourism and public education. It will include the Ulverstone Visitor Centre, the local History Museum, a new science centre, planetarium and multi-media dome, gallery spaces, and workshops for local arts, crafts and cultural makers.

A prominent position on the building ground floor is to be developed as a café or similar contemporary food and beverage enterprise. The Council is seeking a preferred operator for the café enterprise and is receptive to applications from any interested parties, including commercial operators, community organisations, and social enterprises.

A supervised inspection of the (construction) site will be available to interested parties during the EOI period, to help visualise the opportunity presented by the Hive development.

Further information can be obtained by phoning the Council’s Community Development Group Leader, Simon Angilley on (03) 6429 8950.

In accordance with the formal EOI document, EOIs can be submitted:

• In person at 19 King Edward Street, Ulverstone; or
• By post to PO Box 220, Ulverstone TAS 7315; or
• By email to admin@centralcoast.tas.gov.au
