Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Mel Smith said hiring the bar container provides local businesses the opportunity to help enhance visitation to the region’s Town Centres and offer renewed chances for communities to unite.

“We are thrilled to be facilitating the Coast’s incredible line up of businesses creating new, pop-up experiences for communities across the region,” Ms Smith said.

“Local businesses can now apply to have the pop-up container delivered to an approved location of their choice and can enjoy the convenience of a highly-equipped pop-up bar with flexible options to hire for up to three months at an affordable cost.

“With the impacts of floods and intense rain this year, we’re looking forward to seeing local businesses present their communities with new opportunities to get out and renew social connections while experiencing the vibrancy our stunning Central Coast landscape has to offer.

“We encourage interested local businesses to submit their big ideas before Wednesday 31 August and help encourage visitation to our region and town centres.”

Council Administrator, Rik Hart said local eateries and businesses can have confidence that Council is keen to continue prioritising opportunities which connect them to Central Coast communities.

“This initiative aims to shine a light on the spectacular mix of businesses and venues that call the Central Coast home, and I look forward to seeing the impact this has on town centres and communities across the region,” Mr Hart said.

“This is a chance for businesses to express their interest in offering residents and visitors a new, pop-up experience and to get involved in delivering engaging spaces that boost the local economy, and further contribute to the overall ambiance of our Central Coast community."

Local businesses interested in hiring the equipped pop-up bar container throughout the 2022-23 financial year can complete an Expression of Interest online by 5pm Wednesday 31 August 2022.
