The much-loved Bay Village complex on Hastings Street is getting ready for a makeover with new branding and a funky new-look to be revealed before the school holidays.
Centre manager Paul Matthews said Bay Village on Hastings was overdue for a refurbish, with works expected to be completed by 18 September, just in time for the school holidays.
As well as a new logo, new bench seat installations will be placed at the two entrances to the complex from Hastings Street and will feature light boxes illuminating the new branding.
The current blue seats and tables will be replaced with on-trend high communal tables, fixed bench seating and new chairs and tables in colours such as orange, purple and grey.
The new-look eatery is designed to be an inviting, modern space for locals and visitors to enjoy the food options on offer as well as the retail stores located in the complex.
“We want to encourage people to come into Bay Village and enjoy the space,” Mr Matthews said.
“This is a makeover of the Village’s image. We’ll be changing all the signs and replacing them with a more modern logo.”
Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said local businesses that choose to renovate or refurbish their properties are helping drive tourists to Noosa.
“The recent increased tourism numbers and spend have been heartening and this is a result of a number of factors including local businesses renovating their product to ensure visitors have a great experience in Noosa,” he said.“We encourage all business owners to have a regular re-investment program in their businesses to ensure their product is up to a good standard which will help enhance the visitor experience.”
Mr Massingham said the Tourism Noosa team congratulate the latest operator to take this step, being Bay Village.
“Refreshing their food court, which is a popular eatery with tourists ahead of the summer season, is a great initiative,” he said.
