Update: Land & Environment Court hearing for the Burdekin Hotel
In December 2006 the Burdekin Hotel lodged a development application, which if it had been approved would allow it to operate as Place of Public Entertainment (PoPE), on all 5 of its floors, from 8am Friday continuously until 12 midnight Sunday. The application was refused by the City of Sydney in November 2007.
The hotel lodged an appeal against that decision with the Land & Environment Court. The case was heard on the 18th and 20th March before Commissioner Murrell. The Commissioner has asked for further information to be provided by 27th March. A decision is expected in the week commencing 31st March.
