The Portage Licensing Trust Board has made the decision to not proceed further with The Beer Spot franchise partnership at our New Lynn site.
This is not the end of hospitality development at 3008 Great North Road, and we are focused on developing a plan for the site that will deliver a great venue for West Aucklanders, adding to the New Lynn hospitality scene.
As a community-governed organisation, our investments must be both financially responsible and meet the evolving needs of our community. Based on this, the Board has determined that The Beer Spot partnership is no longer the best fit.
This decision has not been made lightly and follows a thorough project review by both the board and management. The review included concerns around the high cost of development and the current challenging economic environment.
The board and management remain committed to delivering strong and vibrant hospitality that the community will enjoy, and this pivot allows us to focus on options that better reflect this commitment.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your elected board members, the CEO, or attend our next public meeting on 28th April 2026.
