Council Statement – Bellbridge Container Café

Towong Shire Council advises the community that the lease for the Bellbridge Container Café, currently known as the Bellbridge Snack Shack, has now ceased.

Council would like to sincerely thank the café’s first operator, Dylan, for their efforts and commitment in establishing and delivering the café’s operations to date.

Council understands the disappointment felt by the community, particularly following the patience shown while awaiting the café’s opening toward the end of last year. We acknowledge the importance of this facility to Bellbridge and the surrounding area.

Mayor Peter Tolsher said Council remains committed to seeing the café reopened.

“We recognise how important the Bellbridge Container Café is to the local community and visitors, and we share the community’s disappointment that it is not currently operating,” Mayor Tolsher said.

“This café could be well suited to a local person looking to semi‑retire, or someone seeking a small‑scale business that allows them to stay active and connected within the community. Council is keen to hear from anyone interested in discussing the opportunity".

Council will be releasing an Expression of Interest (EOI) as soon as possible to identify a new operator for the café. In the meantime, any local residents or businesses who may be interested in discussing this opportunity are encouraged to contact Council via info@towong.vic.gov.au or by phone on 1300 365 222.

Council looks forward to working with the community to see the Bellbridge Container Café operating again as soon as possible.
