31 Kennedy Street, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
The premises are occupied by Saffron Restaurant, a Lebanese‑style dining establishment that is currently operational.
Kingston is largely zoned for a predominant height of three storeys, with a maximum of four storeys where the building does not dominate the street frontage. In some designated areas, six‑storey units are allowed under certain conditions, so any redevelopment would need to conform to these height limits.
The property is served by Wentworth Avenue, the main thoroughfare through Kingston, with additional access via Eyre Street and Giles Street. It is also close to a bus shelter on Giles Street (about 0.5 km away) and the Canberra railway station, providing convenient public‑transport options.
The site is within walking distance of the Kingston Shopping Centre, numerous hotels (e.g., Abode Kingston, Knightsbridge Canberra, Pinnacle Apartments) and a vibrant nightlife and bar scene, all of which generate foot traffic ideal for a dining venue.
Kingston is situated roughly 4 km south‑west of Canberra’s centre, placing the property in close proximity to the city’s commercial and government precincts.
Kingston contains several heritage‑listed precincts, such as the Kingston Powerhouse Historic Precinct and the Garden City heritage area. While the immediate site is not specified as heritage‑protected, any modifications should respect the surrounding heritage context and align with ongoing redevelopment plans in the suburb.
