Seafood restaurant starts renovations

A seafood restaurant in Woy Woy has commenced major renovations.

Woy Woy's Fishermen's Wharf was closed on Monday, September 25, while pre-fabricated extensions to the wharf restaurant were craned into position.

The extension will expand the restaurant's seating capacity and is expected to be completed, weather permitting, by November.

Fishermen's Wharf commenced planning for the renovation over 12 months ago.

The site is Crown Land, so the operator needed permission for several state authorities as well as from Central Coast Council.

The upstairs flat will also undergo renovations.

"Fishermen's Wharf is a really important redevelopment because it will reshape the Woy Woy waterfront and hopefully also lead to other property owners doing some building upgrades," said Peninsula Chamber of Commerce president Mr Matthew Wales.

"We are really excited about that because Fishermen's Wharf is such an iconic site for the Peninsula," Mr Wales said.
