Port Fairy riverfront restaurant for lease

Published on 27 August 2024

Moyne Shire is seeking expressions of interest to lease Port Fairy’s spectacular ‘The Wharf’ restaurant and cafe facility.

Set within the Moyne River wharf precinct, and surrounded by nearby historic homes and structures, The Wharf building was constructed in 2017 to make the most of its picturesque location.

Council manages the facility, and is inviting potential applicants to submit offers to lease the restaurant and cafe as a whole, or as separate entities.

Mayor, Cr Ian Smith said the wharf area is a popular attraction for visitors and locals alike, especially now with the revitalisation of Port Fairy’s fishing industry.

“The Wharf has previously hosted a seafood restaurant and fish and chip outlet,” said Cr Smith.

“The facility is in excellent condition, and both premises include fully-equipped commercial kitchens, cool rooms, freezers, stores and much more,” he said.

“We look forward to seeing the calibre and range of offers to operate here. We may see existing businesses wishing to relocate, or new businesses who see the opportunity on offer at this site.”

“Port Fairy is well-recognised as a tourism destination, with significant swells in population during holiday periods and events such as the Port Fairy Folk Festival.”

The process of managing the expressions of interest will be handled by real estate agent Mark Wilson of Wilsons in Warrnambool. Full details can be found at:
