THE CRI – An Iconic Licensed Entertainment Venue Ready for Its Next Chapter
Some opportunities don't come along very often.

If you've ever imagined owning your own nightclub, live music venue, entertainment precinct, craft brewery, cocktail bar, events venue or hospitality destination, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

For lease is The Criterion Hotel ("The CRI"), one of regional Queensland's best-known entertainment venues, positioned in the centre of one of Australia's fastest-growing regional cities.

Forget buying a business for hundreds of thousands of dollars in goodwill.
There is NO goodwill to pay.

Walk in, create your own brand, your own atmosphere and your own success story.

Whether you want to recreate the excitement of a live music venue, launch a premium nightclub, establish a vibrant café and bar, host weddings and functions, develop an entertainment hub or create something Australia hasn't seen before—the canvas is ready.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT
• Approx. 600m² of licensed indoor venue
• Approx. 412m² beer garden and outdoor land
• 1,012m² total site
• Existing liquor licence
• Some equipment is already in place
• No goodwill payment
• Long-term security with lease options extending to 20 years (5 x 5-year terms)
• Competitive rent of $90,000 per annum + GST + 50% of outgoings
A Licence That Gives You Real Opportunity
Approved trading hours include:

• Until 2:00am Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Those late-night trading approvals are increasingly difficult to obtain and create enormous potential for entertainment operators.

WHY MARYBOROUGH?
Smart operators are increasingly looking beyond the capital cities—and for good reason.
Maryborough is one of Queensland's great regional cities, rich in history, character, and community spirit. Located within the rapidly growing Fraser Coast region, it enjoys a steady local population while attracting visitors year-round for its heritage streetscape, festivals, nearby beaches, whale watching, caravanning tourism, and the gateway to K'gari (Fraser Island).

The city continues to benefit from significant government investment, growing tourism, and increasing residential development, creating exciting opportunities for hospitality operators who can deliver something memorable.
People don't just come to Maryborough to pass through—they come to experience it.

And every thriving regional city deserves an outstanding entertainment venue.

AN OWNER WHO WANTS YOU TO SUCCEED
The owner understands that great venues are built through great operators.
Flexible lease discussions are welcomed, with the aim of finding the right tenant who can unlock the venue's enormous potential and create something the community will embrace.

THIS ISN'T JUST A LEASE
It's a chance to build a destination.
To create a venue that people talk about.
To host unforgettable nights.
To own a business that becomes part of a city's story.
Opportunities like this rarely come to market—particularly without paying goodwill.

If you've ever wanted to back yourself and create one of Queensland's great regional entertainment venues, this is your opportunity.
