A pop-up cafe by Lake Burley Griffin near Blundells Cottage could be on the menu for visitors, walkers, runners and cyclists.

Chillilala Pty Ltd, whose director is Arina Poulakis, has lodged a works application with the National Capital Authority (NCA) for the prefabricated cafe which will be erected on the hardstand of the former carpark adjacent to Blundells Cottage on Wendouree Drive.

The structure will be about the size of a shipping container.

    The application states it will be discrete and blend into the landscape, with the design having a suitable aesthetic quality for the area and fitting with the heritage status of Blundells Cottage.

    I’m going to press doubt for that particular claim, I’d be surprised if it had much more aesthetic quality than a trailer or shipping container.

    I think it’d attract a reasonable amount of business though - not much in the way of snacks/drinks available along that part of the lake.
