Hire shack and ice-cream kiosk won’t go ahead

A hire shack and ice-cream kiosk on the Foreshore will no longer go ahead due to the project not being progressed within the necessary timeframes.

After passing through Council in November 2016, the proponents have not moved forward with project, which could open up new opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to capitalise on Geraldton’s world-class Foreshore.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said Council were always looking at ways to activate the premier location.

“Both the hire shack and ice-cream kiosk were passed through council as we felt they would add to the vibrancy of the location,” he said.

“It’s disappointing to not see these projects progress however it may give someone else a business idea to put forward.

“We want our Foreshore to continue to be the crowning jewel in our CBD and we will consider future projects which will enhance the location’s vibrancy when and if we receive applications.”
