Parramatta. Church as licensed premises

The former St Peter’s Uniting Church, on the corner of Church and Palmer streets, at the northern end of the CBD dining precinct, is for lease, with a total licensed area of approximately 800 square metres. Southern Cross Enterprises Group had proposed, a two-stage DA in 2008, to refurbish the heritage-listed church as a bar and restaurant and build a 4.5-star, 50-room hotel, on a hall at the rear of the church. Parramatta City Council refused stage 2 for the 13-level project.
