The City of Busselton is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from entrepreneurs, for the opportunity to lease a commercial enterprise located in the heart of the central business district within the former ArtGeo Gallery.
The City is seeking to attract interested parties that can offer a unique experience for residents and visitors that complements other offerings in and around the Busselton Cultural Precinct and in particular the much anticipated Busselton Performing Arts and Convention Centre (BPACC) currently under construction on adjacent land.
The heritage listed ArtGeo Gallery building is situated on the corner of Marine Terrace and Queen Street. The Precinct comprises the Weld Theatre, Busselton Courthouse Complex and Tea Rooms and heritage trail. It is close to parking and surrounding amenities such as the Busselton Visitor Centre, soon to be completed Hilton Garden View Hotel, restaurants and the iconic Busselton Jetty.
Inspired by the Inter-War Free Classical style of the 1920s and 1930s, the building was constructed in 1931 as the Busselton Agricultural Bank. The bank was established to assist with the development of agricultural land and the Group Settlement Scheme. As an art gallery the building has been many things to the Busselton people, this is a great opportunity to be a part of its story.
The City is now seeking to activate this historic space prior to the opening of BPACC in October 2023.
