Not for Profit Anglicare Sydney has been given approval to build and operate a 100-seat (76 chairs inside and 24 outside) waterfront cafe that will be able to cater for residents of its co-located Woolooware Shores Retirement Village and the public at Taren Point, 20km south of Sydney’s CBD.
The café site is a former industrial warehouse. It will connect to an existing council bike path and boardwalk via paths and ramps and also connects to Woolooware Shores Retirement Village’s aged care home Goodhew Gardens and Bay Breeze, which has 123 residents maximum, and also cares for people living with dementia.
The cafe (picture submitted to the DA) will be allowed to operate from 7am to 7pm for both inside and outside areas, and until 10pm from Thursday to Sunday evenings, for inside areas only. The extended hours on Thursday to Sunday will be for a trial period of 12 months.
Woolooware Shores Retirement Village already has Watercress Café, which is also open to the public.
Anglicare Sydney, which bought Presbyterian Aged Care’s residential aged care, retirement villages and home care services in the Sydney metropolitan area and in NSW’s New England area last December, states 95% of apartments have been sold at Woolooware Shores Retirement Village, which opened in 2008.
