Lease consultation is a statutory requirement under the Local Government Act (SA) 1999 when the term of the lease is greater than 5 years. This lease is for 21 years.

As per the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy, this operator will provide a commercial service that supports the use and enjoyment of the Adelaide Park Lands. A 21-year lease agreement allows the operator to plan for the future and obtain a return on their capital investment.

It is anticipated that the long-term lease and its associated uses will not change how the community currently experiences this area of the Park Lands.

The proposed development outcomes sought for the kiosk include:

• the internal space of the kiosk will be reconfigured,
• a new back extension will provide an area for new toilets and improved ‘back of house’ area.

Other improvements to the Kiosk include:

• a deck to the front of the Kiosk,
• a roof over that deck to provide year-round serviceability and
• improved lighting and paving around the Kiosk.

The draft lease agreement allows the Kiosk to continue to operate as a Kiosk with additional uses extending to a café/restaurant and an event/function space.  The provision of additional uses has been purposely designed to allow flexibility of trade so that the business can be flexible and adapt to change.
