Hawkesbury. $40 million proposal

A DA for a $40 million entertainment complex at McGraths Hill is expected to be lodged with Hawkesbury Council within weeks for a 10-screen luxury cinema over two levels, multiple family restaurants, a tavern, bowling alley, laser skirmish centre, and a children’s activities and play area. The recently acquired site is a vacant block in the Groves Avenue industrial complex. “The presence of an entertainment and retail complex of this stature will be a welcome addition to the area, which has for years been lacking these facilities in one stand-alone premises,” said Robert Montgomery, from Montgomery Planning Solutions, representing the developers, a private entertainment group.
