Commercial components of one of Newcastle's newest multimillion-dollar developments are taking shape, with a delicatessen/restaurant and small bar proposed for The Royal.
The delicatessen and licensed restaurant is the latest application before Newcastle City Council for a ground-floor tenancy in the $190 million complex opposite Newcastle Beach.
It would open from 7am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 11pm on Friday and Saturday, for up to 120 people.
Parties will put their views to councillors tomorrow.
The plan's public exhibition attracted two supporting submissions and 17 objections about use, noise and residents' privacy.
Also facing councillors is a decision on an application for a bar in another ground-floor commercial space.
Staff recommend it be approved, but have suggested conditions on security, noise, patrons and operating hours.
These include having security guards and cameras, closing doors and banning al fresco dining after 10pm, and not playing live, amplified music.
The conditions also confirm operating hours and patron capacity.
The bar would accommodate up to 194 people and trade until midnight from Monday to Saturday and 10pm on Sundays.
A public voice session was held on June 8.
Supporters said it would add to Newcastle's economy and social scene, while objectors said it would create violence on streets, and urged the council to put a moratorium on new licensed premises.
