Ample car-parking will provided at the rear of the site, and the bottleshop will have a drive through lane.

The Development

The two-bedroom unit located on the west side of the building will be removed to allow wider access to the rear car park, and to provide a non-smoking alfresco dining area on the west side of the building
The existing Bessar Block will be retained and rendered
The existing double glazed glass will be retained.
A range of contrasting timber, colour bond and other materials will be utilised as walls, screens, cladding, facades and planter boxes. The theme of the materials will be horizontal lines.
Extensive landscaping at the front of the building.
Extensive landscaping separating the alfresco dining area and outdoor beer garden from the car-park

The subtle colours, contrasting materials incorporating horizontal lines all broken and softened by extensive landscaping will transform the building from eyesore to clean, sophisticated and modern establishment for prospective patrons to drink or dine at.

Existing – Interior

The existing interior will be gutted and then it will fitted out as a modern well finished bar and eatery. This will be achieved via:

Walls demolished & others added
Extended commercial kitchen complete with pizza oven
New access doors & windows added.
Paint, floor coverings, light fittings, window furnishings.
Fitted out with bar, shelving, fridges and table & chairs.
Fitted with flat screen TVs and sound system

Bathrooms and Toilets

As per the plan separate male, female and disabled toilet facilities will be newly constructed on the west side of the site. This will be constructed from brick render and colourbond roof to tie in with the rest of the building.

Separate male and female toilets and wash sinks are reserved for the staff. This provides an opportunity to install high staff hygiene systems

Outdoor Areas & Landscaping

The property’s current look & feel will be transformed by extensive landscaping, decking and paved and grassed beer garden areas.

The existing glazed areas facing Main Road will be screened be enhanced by plants & foliage to improve the outlook from within the establishment as well as that of the street looking in. This is not only to improve the aesthetics but it will also control acoustics and create privacy.

The beer garden at the rear of the building which will enjoy all day sun in a luscious landscaped environment, will be a feature of the facility.

Vehicular Access

The establishment will be complete with a fully sealed double laned entrance/ exit that leads to a 44 spot car park.
The front of the building is serviced by a double drive through lanes to the bottleshop under a large canopy.
On the east side of the building there is an extra wide sealed land for deliveries by car or truck.

Acoustic Treatments

All building structures will comply with standard commercial building regulations such as:

Core filled block work
Double glazing

Outdoor areas will be acoustically dampened by:

Extensive landscaping.
Trees & foliage.
Screen fencing around the beer garden. Note this has been excluded from the Car Park Elevation in the attached plan in order to show a meaningful elevation.

Meals

The meal offering will be “café style” centre around wood fired pizza but also included a range of toasted focaccia, dips toasted sandwiches and nachos.

Bar

The facility will have just one bar. The horse shoe shaped bar will service seating and dining areas which are located on the western end of the facility.

Patrons will be offered a large selection of:

Bottled or canned beer.
Wines by the glass or bottle.
A range of regularly consumed sprits.
Bottled water & soft drink

Bottle Shop

The establishment will include a 50 square bottle shop to the east side of the building.
The bottle shop will carry usual lines of liquor namely beer, wine & spirits and will be serviced via a separate access to the rest of the establishment and a separate attendant & cash register.

Entertainment

Entertainment will include numerous large screen TVs, digital music players and a pool table

The occasional live acoustic act (1 or 2 piece maximum) will perform on Friday or Saturday nights. They would perform indoors, and we envisage that this would be limited to about 6 times per year.

We will introduce a novel concept of playlist menu, where patrons can select five songs from a menu of iTunes playlists.

Wireless

Free wireless access will be provided to patrons.
