Club Sapphire seven-storey hotel proposal out for public feedback

Council's director of community, environment and planning, Emily Harrison, said council resolved to exhibit a proposal to amend the Bega Valley Local Environmental Plan 2013 to change the maximum height from 16 metres to 26 metres on part of 119 Main Street, Merimbula.

"The planning proposal is being exhibited alongside a concept development application for a 100-room hotel and conference facilities over part of Club Sapphire's existing site, including partial demolition and reconstruction of the south-east corner of the existing club premises," Ms Harrison said.

"Once community feedback has been received, staff will consider the issues raised and undertake an assessment.

"We will then prepare a report back to council outlining the feedback received through public and agency submissions regarding the proposed height change."
