The official opening of the Kingston Park (Nest) Kiosk was held on 4 April with a commemorative plaque unveiled by Holdfast Bay Mayor Amanda Wilson. In attendance at the ceremony were Liberal leader David Speirs, Seacliff Ward councillors Amanda Bradshaw, Clare Lindop and Susan Lonie, and Nest owner Tom Rodger. The 5049 Coastal Community Association was represented by Libby Creegen, Ali Cormack and Ian Young. The association was acknowledged for its efforts in helping bring the project to fruition.

The new Kingston Park Kiosk (“Nest”) is now open!

Your Association worked tirelessly over eight years lobbying and working with Council to have a permanent cafe built to serve local residents, caravan park patrons, and visitors. We are very pleased with result.

The Kiosk is open from 7am to 3pm and patronage, as expected, has been excellent.

Dinners, themed evening events, private functions are being planned.

Visit the Nest Kiosk website for more info, including the breakfast and luncheon menus.

Construction of the new kiosk at Kingston Park is proceeding on schedule.

Structural steel is in place and carpentry has started.

Completion and handover to the operators, Celler Door, is scheduled for early December with the kiosk expected to open in January.

We can’t wait!

After many years of campaigning on behalf of the 5049 community we are extremely pleased that a new kiosk/cafe will finally be built on the Kingston Park foreshore. Thanks to Mayor Amanda Wilson, and Elected Members, in particular Annette Bradshaw, for their support. We’ll post further pictures of the building as they are made available.

Construction is expected to commence in mid 2023 and be built and operational later in 2023, or early 2024. It will be constructed along the edge of the coastal path within the Brighton Beachfront Holiday Park, with $1 million allocated to the project – which includes integrating the kiosk into the caravan park and landscaping.Two sites from the caravan park will be removed to make way for the new kiosk building and the car park will remain as it is currently. The new building includes indoor dining for 40 patrons, 42 seats in a shaded outdoor area, a take-away servery and ambulant and disabled toilets.

Seller Door Pty Ltd has been selected to provide café services for the new Kingston Park Kiosk.
