Update: Council refuses The Gaff's DA - again

The Gaff nightclub and bar at Oxford Square is seeking to expand its ground floor and increase capacity by over 60%.

The application was refused under delegation of Council on 5th March 2008.

That decision was upheld by the City of Sydney’s Small Permits Appeals Panel on 8th August 2008 i.e. the DA has been refused. We'll post Council's formal notification of the decision here when it's available.

Our community voiced its objections to this proposal loudly - with dozens of personal submissions,  75 responses to the online petition (with most people also adding their own comments), and 12 people speaking at the Small Permits Appeals Panel.
