A waterfront location with a one-in-million view in the afternoon as the sun sets to the rear - that's how a staff member of many years describes the ambience of the "Fisherman's Landing".
Located on Townsville Northern Beaches, a short drive of the Bruce Highway, the iconic "Fisherman's Landing" is arguably the hub of the local Balgal Beach community. Built on the foreshore of Rollingstone Creek, neighbouring the local boat ramp, and within metres of the ocean beachfront, the location is rarely offered to the market from a commercial sense.
But that's not the only part of the story of a business that is being offered to the market by tender. Managed by its current owner Richard Charleston, who purchased the leasehold holding in 1992, (the business first operated in 1979), Richard hopes to pass the business on to someone with the same community values, who can modernise the business and capitalise on what he has built over the past 32 years.
This is truly a rare opportunity.
The shop has been well patronised by both locals and tourists alike. Operated under a leasehold arrangement, and being licenced to serve alcohol, the current tenure expires in 2044, and the lease allows for an option renewal at the end of the current tenure.
