OCEAN Grove\u2019s revamped The Dunes Caf\u00e9 officially opened at the weekend, impressing customers with its great food, coffee and ocean views
\nThe caf\u00e9\/restaurant, which was part of the original Ocean Grove surf complex building, closed early last year as part of a million-dollar redevelopment.
\nPhil Emery Chair of the Barwon Coast Committee of Management said the original surf complex building was worn out from over 20 years of use by the Ocean Grove Surf Lifesaving Club and visitors to the Dunes restaurant.
\n\u201cSurf club membership was booming and the facilities in the old building did not meet the needs of the club into the future,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cThe Dunes Restaurant roof was leaking and required significant funding to fix as well as expensive upgrades to the kitchen were required to meet current commercial kitchen standards.\u201d
\nThe first sod of Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club\u2019s new complex turned in May last year, while it was also announced that the company which operates At The Heads in Barwon Heads had been awarded a 21-year lease to operate The Dunes Caf\u00e9.
\nOGSLS Club\u2019s new patrol tower officially opened last December, which was followed by the surf beach complex in July this year.
\nThe Dunes Caf\u00e9 was still completing the fit-out of its commercial kitchen then but has opened a month later.
\nMr Emery said the new surf beach complex was an incredible resource for the local community and visitors to Ocean Grove Main Beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
