Shops converted to restaurant

A development application to convert retail shops into a restaurant and bar has been approved for Ettalong Beach.

The site in question, 247 Ocean View Rd, Ettalong Beach, sits one intersection away from Picnic Pde and The Esplanade and has been approved to change the use of the shops from Class Six Retail to Class Six Restaurant.

While there are no documents available on Central Coast Council's Planning Portal for this privately-certified development, application details suggest the space will be converted into a mixed-use restaurant with internal expansion and alterations will include adding a dining room and a bar refit to adjoin existing restaurant facilities.

The application was lodged and approved on November 30, with estimated cost of works listed as $150,000.
