OUR PROJECTS
Suttons Beach Pavilion Redevelopment Project
The Suttons Beach Public Space project is set to revitalise Suttons Beach Park in Redcliffe, with the goal of returning this iconic destination to community use and creating lasting memories for a new generation. Central to this transformation is the redevelopment of the Suttons Beach Pavilion. With a rich history dating back to 1906, the site is now poised for a fresh, modern approach.
Future Food was engaged by Moreton Bay City Council to provide specialist food and hospitality consultancy for the redevelopment of the historic Suttons Beach Pavilion, one of Redcliffe’s most prominent waterfront community assets.
Following extensive community engagement, Council set out to re-imagine the Pavilion as a contemporary beachfront destination that would respect its heritage and community significance while establishing a compelling new food, beverage and events offer.
Working alongside appointed architects LahzNimmo, Future Food helped shape the hospitality strategy and base-build requirements for the multi-level pavilion. The planning established the infrastructure and operational framework to support a diverse mix of hospitality experiences, including a ground-floor café, quick-service beach canteen, destination restaurant and upper-level event deck.
Future Food’s involvement during the design phase ensured the building was commercially and operationally positioned for the market, with a clear hospitality vision and sufficient technical information to give prospective operators confidence in the opportunity.
Building on this foundation, Future Food then led a comprehensive, multi-stage operator procurement campaign designed to attract high-calibre hospitality groups capable of delivering Council’s vision. Working closely with Council’s Procurement, Leasing and Property teams and appointed probity advisor, Future Food managed the end-to-end process, from market engagement and operator briefings through to submissions, evaluation, presentations, commercial assessment and final shortlisting.
The process generated strong market interest and ultimately identified a preferred operator from one of Brisbane’s leading hospitality groups, providing Council with an experienced partner capable of transforming Suttons Beach Pavilion into a landmark waterfront hospitality destination.
The outcome demonstrates the value of integrating hospitality strategy, design planning and operator procurement from the outset, creating a venue that is not only designed for its future operator, but positioned to deliver lasting commercial, community and destination value for Suttons Beach and the wider Redcliffe waterfront.
