    I think its a great idea myself.
    Great spot and will enhance the area especially now we have a fantastic Sailing & Kayak club down there too

  2. Tracy Taberer commented

    As a resident of the southern end of russell island, I think this establishment would be beneficial to many residents. Over the recent months/ years, there has been a strong increase of activity in the sandy beach area.
    This development would be welcomed by many!

    I support this planning application. It offers an alternative to existing cafes in a different location to current businesses. This fosters excellence in offerings by all businesses and provides residents and visitors with a venue with a point of difference.

    I would support an outdoor area and large glass areas as there would be good views available.

    The business will provide potential employment opportunities as well as opportunities for businesses to service it (food suppliers, cleaners etc).

    This area has a nascent tourist interest with the limited camping available, a strongly growing community sailing club and pretty park. This business will support and enhance this.

    This would be great to have for the southern end of the island now all we would like is a bridge

    I support this application.

    Businesses on Russell Island are currently concentrated close to the jetty. The southern end of the island has quality residential, water-sport club and tourism activity but no supporting commercial interest.

    Residents and tourists would welcome and support this establishment.

    I am moving to the Southern end of the Island due to a recent purchase. . Will be great I can have a place in walking distance from my home to grab a bite to eat. Will also add to the tourism day trippers coming to Sandy Beach. :-) I certainly support this application :-)

    Fantastic idea! Finally, something on the southside of this island as well (since everything has been concentrated around the northern end, the ferry/barge terminal so far). Hopefully, this will, in time, also generate better mobile reception and broadband Internet connection. Perhaps even a short-haul/cable barge connection to Straddie? All the best!

    Good to see a cafe development on the south side of Russell. It will enhance visits to Sandy Beach and benefit locals who have no food or shopping facilities.

  9. Deirdre Underwood commented

    A wonderful idea it will improve the already beautiful position. I wish them all the success in the world.

    What a brilliant idea. It is more than time for some development to take place on the southern end of the island. It is close to Sandy Beach where many go for recreation. The kayak and sailing boat club are down that end too (they held a fantastic Australia Day gathering at Sandy Beach) so this proposed development would complement the "other end of the island" and it's activities.

    I hope the council approves this. Great to see someone is 'having a go'. Bureaucracy is a pain for small business and I wish the owners all the best.

  12. Kylie commented

    Great idea, welcomed development to this beautiful island, especially down the southern end

  13. John Hine commented

    This business venture would be an attraction & an asset for those who wish to visit this part of the Island & as a long time land owner on the Island it gets my support.

  14. Wayne Bidois commented

    Yeh finally somewhere to sit, relax, drink coffee and enjoy the views on the Southside of the island, I hope you approve this development it has my support cheers

  15. JohnTighe commented

    Great idea in support of small business with potential for more jobs on Russell Island.

  16. Kaylene Higgs commented

    I support this development.
    As a long time resident of Sandy Beach, I am looking forward to this development. It will provide employment, and opportunity to locals. The Southern end of the island is 7km from existing infrastructure, this development will enhance the area through providing long overdue facilities for Sandy beach which is rapidly expanding.
