Perched over the water, the ice creamery and fish ’n’ chip follies provide simple retail outlets to supplement the needs of the public transitioning through NewQuay. They are seen as an extension and continuation of the rich nature of art through Melbourne and within this precinct.

They are at the same time iconic jewels and playful sculptures which provide interest and refreshment along this new promenade experience.

The cladding of the follies has been selected as points of difference to the predominately concrete finishes of the residential towers along the north side of the promenade.  A variety of materials was used in follies; the ice cream folly is finished in zinc sheet and the Fish ’n’ Chip Folly is blue marine grade stainless steel reflective of shimmering water.
