Pizza shop may become licensed restaurant

A pizza shop in Colonial Mews, Woy Woy, could become a licensed restaurant if an application to Central Coast Council is successful.

The restaurant, at the intersection of Oval Ave and Blackwall Rd, would open 5pm to 11pm Monday to Thursday and 12pm to 12am Friday to Sunday.

The application states that the restaurant would employ one full time staff member and three casual staff.

In documents supporting the proposal, the applicant argued: "The site is surrounded by other retailers, cafe and bakery who all operate between the hours of 9am to 5pm.

"The proposed liquor license and change of use to licensed restaurant will have no detrimental effect to the adjoining properties, but will in fact have a positive contribution to the growing amount of surrounding businesses that are now trading of an evening (Link and Pin, Young Barons, Woy Woy Fishermen's Wharf and Frankie's Rooftop).

"The application for changing the use to licensed restaurant will be carried out in accordance with the relevant standards, controls and Council regulations, ensuring that the nature of the building is enhanced and not compromised," the applicant claimed.

"The proposal will improve the services along town centre and will be positive to the local community.

"It will be an improvement to community by enriching the types of services offed in the neighbourhood.

"There are no changes proposed to the current external and internal conditions.

"The proposal has no impact to the adjoining properties," the applicant said.
