These are Canberra’s 5 best suburban cafes (as voted by the Zango office)

A parcel of land next to Fyshwick markets totalling almost 2 ha, which includes the 7-Eleven service station and KFC takeaway on Canberra Avenue, has sold for $20.2 million.The <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-106051/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">19,228 square metre site bound by Canberra Avenue, Nyrang Street and Dalby Street</a> comprises four separate blocks, with a development application lodged to reboot the KFC and build two new shops, including a new fast food restaurant on the 7-Eleven side of the property.The two blocks next to the markets are home to a trucking company.Marketed as one of Canberra’s busiest locations, the site generates about $1,066,927 in income.<img alt="149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-106051-image-0-20240809023333132268-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="537" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-1060.width-800.jpg" width="800">The blocks could have been sold separately, and the site was pitched as a unique opportunity for investors to acquire a trophy asset or a significant landholding with excellent passive income and a future development play.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white-commercial-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Commercial</a> agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/frank-giorgi/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Frank Giorgi</a> said the buyer was a local investor.He said there were 15 expressions of interest applications, with most coming from the ACT.The price was a good result and showed the strength of the local market.“It’s probably good value for money,” Mr Giorgi said.“It still shows that good tenant covenants are still in demand.”He said buyers had the flexibility to buy all four in various combinations or separately.<img alt="149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-106051-image-0-20240809023334678164-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-1060.width-800_7H8TaUe.jpg" width="800">“The best and final offer was for all four,” Mr Giorgi said.While there is a DA submitted, it was probably a long-term play, with the buyer more a passive investor than a developer.“So whether or not he goes down that path, it’s unknown at this stage. He’s not sure,” Mr Giorgi said.There is nine years left on the service station lease and two on the KFC lease.The vendor was a local consortium of private families, who prefer not to be named.The DA was lodged in June by Spunlock Pty Ltd for the 7835 sqm site on Canberra Avenue that includes the 7-Eleven and KFC outlet (Block 6 and 7 Section 7).The $6.2 million project involves demolishing the existing KFC building and the adjacent carwash and constructing three single-level buildings – a new 352 sqm KFC outlet, a new 252 sqm restaurant and three tenancies of 80 sqm each.<img alt="149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-106051-image-0-20240809023333511914-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-1060.width-800_3z3UevF.jpg" width="800">While the DA’s proposal outline only refers to a second restaurant, plans show the Taco Bell branding on a sign and refer to a Taco Bell waste enclosure.The service station will remain as it is, although a new illuminated 7-Eleven pylon sign will show fuel prices.Other works proposed include additional parking on Block 6 to cater for customers across the entire site, more signs, including another illuminated pylon on Nyrang Street, and landscaping, including replacement trees.A total of 92 parking spaces are required, with 85 provided and seven to be found within 100 metres off-site.The proposal must comply with a Development Control Plan because it is on Canberra Avenue, which falls under the National Capital Plan as an approach route.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/149-151-canberra-avenue-fyshwick-act-2609-106051/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/busy-parcel-of-land-next-to-fyshwick-markets-sells-for-20-million/822930" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

One of Canberra’s busiest commercial locations sells for $20.2 million

Before you judge me for taking my toddler to a soft play place in the first place, hear me out.I had my baby girl Tori at 43. She’s my third child – her siblings are much older (19 and 17) and I admit she was definitely a surprise. A ‘how the hell did this happen?!’ kind of alarm at first, but then a very welcome and adored surprise.So here I am now at 47 with a toddler. And I am tired. So. Freaking. Tireeeeeeeed. And I don’t mind admitting I like sitting and drinking coffee while she goes nuts in an indoor playground.<img alt="IMG_5522" class="richtext-image full-width" height="874" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5522.width-800.jpg" width="800">My eldest daughter Jessica spotted Little Amigos while shopping at Canberra Outlet Centre. We had only recently been lamenting the loss of Monkey Mania, which my older kids had loved as kids. It was also located at COC (then called DFO).“You need to take Tori here!” Jessica texted me, with a photo of the front of Little Amigos.So I did.And let me tell you: it was not what I expected. At all.Because it was kid and parent heaven.<img alt="IMG_5528" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5528.width-800.jpg" width="800">So much so that I needed to write this article. Because I do tend to think of soft play places as ‘inhale’ places — a bit dirty, a bit boring for the kids after an hour or so, loud and, well, smelly.But Little Amigos is the ‘exhale’ version of soft play. It was such a relief to be there, and we stayed for aaaages. Here’s why we loved it.<h4 data-block-key="6j1hm">It’s so clean.</h4><img alt="IMG_3163" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1255" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3163.width-800.jpg" width="800">Everyone has to take off their shoes at the door. Kids. Adults. The staff. This means there’s less dirt and that the pristine white palette of the place (so refreshing when you’re used to dark, dungeon-like ball pits and navy gym mats wrapped around poles for safety) stays fresh.<img alt="IMG_5533" class="richtext-image full-width" height="990" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5533.width-800.jpg" width="800">Little Amigos doesn’t have that soft play smell (Is it sweat? People’s feet? Urine? All three?) and staff are on hand to keep walkways free of balls, bikes, toy food pieces and other rubbish. Even the sand pit is actually made of tiny wooden cubes instead of sand to reduce the mess.<h4 data-block-key="e5810">There’s so much to do.</h4><img alt="IMG_3153" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3153.width-800.jpg" width="800">From the merry-go-round, magnetised fishing and the mini train to a supermarket for shopping, a kitchen for cooking and a dress-up area, there’s lots to explore.<img alt="IMG_3155" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3155.width-800.jpg" width="800">There’s also a huge ball pit, five separate slides (including a tube ride), a double decker bus and a huge obstacle course up high to discover. The train was a huge hit with Tori and her cousin Sadie.<h4 data-block-key="chngs">The food is amazing. (That includes the coffee.)</h4><img alt="IMG_3147" class="richtext-image full-width" height="557" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3147.width-800.jpg" width="800">It was so odd to glance over at another mum to see her eating a bowl of Ramen (with chopsticks). I felt I was in the wrong place. Her son was eating sushi and her daughter was eating – what I later found out after asking were – Japanese style octopus balls.<img alt="IMG_3149" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3149.width-800.jpg" width="800">This was part of the reason we stayed so long. Because we could eat nice food in the breaks between play. I ordered a Caesar salad, sweet potato fries and karaoke chicken. It was a refreshing change from the frozen chips, nuggets and pizza offered by other play places.<h4 data-block-key="2g80u">All the details</h4>What: Little AmigosWhere: Shop 19/337 Canberra Ave, Fyshwick (inside Canberra Outlet Centre). Park near the food court and head toward Sleepmaker.Who: Little Amigos has a separated baby area and is perfect for children aged 6 months to 10 years.Price: We paid $99.06 for two hours of play for three kids. This included a free coffee for mum and dad, and a free train ride for the three kids.Opening times: Little Amigos is open every day from 10am to 6pm

Can we please talk about Little Amigos – that new soft play place at COC?
