ITEM: 2

SUBJECT: Lease Renewal of Freehold Land at 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich

AUTHOR: Senior Property Officer (Tenure)

DATE: 24 September 2025

Executive Summary

This is a report concerning the proposed lease renewal over freehold land located at 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, described as part of Lot 12 on SP103223 (the Land), between Ipswich City Council (Council) and Rajesh Sharma.

RECOMMENDATION

A. That pursuant to section 236(2) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 (Regulation), Council resolve that the exception at section 236(1)(c)(iii) of the Regulation applies to the disposal of interest in land at 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich more particularly described as part of Lot 12 and Plan SP103223, for restaurant purposes, because it is for renewal of a lease to the existing lessee.

A Trusted and Leading Organisation

Purpose of Report/Background

The premises at 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich are currently leased to Rajesh Sharma, trading as Indian Mehfil Restaurant, under a Council lease expiring 30 June 2026.

The building is State heritage listed, originally constructed in 1878 as the Bank of Australasia with an attached manager’s residence. Following its closure in 1943, the property remained vacant until acquired by Ipswich City Council in 1985. Since acquisition, it has served various civic functions including use as Council offices, the Ipswich Library, and the Visitor Information Centre.

In 2003, Council tendered the premises for restaurant use, awarding the contract to D’Arcy’s on Doyle Restaurant and Bar in 2004. A lease was entered into in October 2006 but terminated in December 2007.

In 2008, Council entered into a lease with Adana Corporation Pty Ltd for a Turkish restaurant. In May 2010, the lease was assigned to Rajesh Sharma, who has operated the Indian Mehfil Restaurant since.

The current lease includes three additional licence areas for outdoor dining, café, and storage. Mr Sharma has agreed to amend the café and rear outdoor dining area previously known as 116 Laneway café & bar which has remained inactive since the COVID-19 pandemic.

FUTURE USE OF THE PROPERTY

The Council-owned property at 116 Brisbane Street occupies a prominent location in the Ipswich CBD, adjacent to d’Arcy Doyle Place and surrounded by heritage buildings. Its strategic position presents an opportunity to enhance the city’s Arts Precinct, particularly in support of the Ipswich Art Gallery.

The building’s heritage character and proximity to the Art Gallery make it well-suited for integration into the precinct, offering both cultural value and commercial potential. However, its current lease arrangement may limit longer term activation opportunities.

Council has secured grant funding to commence planning for the Arts Precinct. While the immediate focus remains on activating the Nicholas Street Precinct, officers propose to begin exploring future use options for 116 Brisbane Street.

The proposed lease terms are as follows;

Lease Terms	Existing	Proposed
Period:	5 Years	5 Years
Commencement Date:	01/07/2021	01/07/2026
Expiry Date:	30/06/2026	30/06/2031
Commencing Rent:	$77,892.24 (excluding GST)	$85,603.09 (excluding GST) plus CPI
Existing Rent:	$85,603.09 (excluding GST)	-
Annual Increase:	CPI	CPI
Permitted Use:	Restaurant	Restaurant

Legal IMPLICATIONS

This report and its recommendations are consistent with the following legislative provisions:

Local Government Act 2009

Local Government Regulation 2012

Retail Shop Leases Act 1994

Land Title Act 1994

policy implications

The proposed lease terms are generally consistent with the Council’s endorsed Tenure over Council Property policy (the ‘Policy’). The only variation relates to the rent, which has been set at the current lease amount, adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous quarter, with a fixed annual escalation also based on CPI for the preceding quarter.

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

Risks of Renewing the Lease for Five Years

1. Longer Term – Council have not considered renewing for longer than 5 years to allow further investigation and consideration of the future use of this building.

Risks of Alternative Recommendations

1. Shorter Lease Term – Offering a shorter lease term may provide flexibility but could result in frequent renegotiations and uncertainty for both parties.

Risks of Not Approving the Recommendation

1. Loss of Rental Income – If the lease is not renewed and no immediate alternative tenant is secured, then Council may face revenue loss due to property vacancy.

2. Community and Business Impact – Closure would diminish the vibrancy of the precinct and reduce community cohesion through inclusive dining experiences and charitable initiatives.

Financial/RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

The current annual rent under the lease is $85,603.09 (excluding GST). The lessee is responsible for maintaining the premises in good repair throughout the term of the lease, except for fair wear and tear and replacement due to end-of-life deterioration.

COMMUNITY and OTHER CONSULTATION

(a) Internal consultation was undertaken between the General Manager, Corporate Services; the General Manager, Community, Cultural and Economic Development; and Property Services to determine lease renewal terms that align with Council’s strategic objectives and operational requirements.

(b) External engagement was led by the Chief Executive Officer and Matt Smith, General Manager (Corporate Services) who met with the current lessee, Mr Sharma, to discuss the renewal of the existing lease and his interest in a further term. Mr Sharma indicated a preference for a five-year term with a five-year renewal option. However, in light of Council’s future planning for the Arts Precinct, the Chief Executive Officer proposed a single five-year term without a renewal option was more suitable.

(c) The Chief Executive Officer has briefed the Mayor and Councillors on the proposed five-year lease term to be offered to Mr Sharma.

Conclusion

Renewing the lease for 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich will maintain activation of a heritage-listed asset while providing Council with flexibility to plan for its future integration into the Arts Precinct. The recommended five-year term reflects strategic priorities and has received positive support through consultation. It is recommended that Council apply the relevant exception under the Local Government Regulation 2012 to proceed with the lease renewal to Mr Sharma.

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS
OTHER DECISION

(a) What is the Act/Decision being made?	Recommendation A-C outlines Council will apply an exemption to dispose of a leasehold interest for the purpose of a restaurant.
(b) What human rights are affected?	Recognition and equality before the law (section 15) Protection from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (section 17) Freedom of movement (section 19) Freedom of expression (section 21) Peaceful assembly and freedom of association (section 22) Privacy and reputation (section 25)
(c) How are the human rights limited?	The proposed decision to enter the lease will potentially interfere to restrict with the rights identified above because the lessee will have the power to eject persons in particular circumstances.
(d) Is there a good reason for limiting the relevant rights? Is the limitation fair and reasonable?	Yes. Ejecting a person in particular circumstances is a reasonable approach to ensure health and safety. Less restrictive means would be warnings, etc, but it is anticipated that these would be utilised prior to any ejection
(e) Conclusion	The decision is consistent with human rights.
