The restaurant turf war raging at Bondi Pavilion over the past 18 months has finally been settled, with Waverley Council making its choice after an exhaustive tender process that culled some of the biggest names in Sydney hospitality.
The restaurant site at the landmark building, which is undergoing a massive restoration, was so competitive several A-list operators didn t even make the shortlist. And it proved to be an up-and-coming outsider that pipped the field when Waverley Council met last week.
The crew from Circular Quay s recently opened Hinchcliff House has nabbed the beachfront site.
Waverley and Randwick City councils will on Tuesday 15 June plant a tree in Centennial Parklands in honour of the late urban conservationist and unionist.
NSW Labor Leader Denies Knowledge of ‘Dirt Dossier’ as 2 MPs Quit Shadow Ministry
SYDNEY New South Wales (NSW) Labor Opposition Leader Jodi McKay has downplayed suggestions that she faces a leadership spill after two MPs resigned from her shadow cabinet this week.
This comes after a staffer from the deputy leader’s office distributed to the press a “dirt dossier” on NSW Labor’s Transport spokesman Chris Minns, who is considered a potential contender for the leadership.
Minns, who previously lost a challenge for the leadership to McKay in 2019, resigned on Tuesday.
“I’m obviously very disappointed by news reports yesterday that a dirt dossier was distributed by the Deputy Leader (Yasmin Catley) of the Labor Party’s office,” Minns wrote in a statement.
The club would have set seating for patrons, which would exclude other beachgoers from sitting there, but Gazecki said that anybody could enter the venue, regardless of their age or wealth, and it would not have a private members list.
“None of that stuff that hit the media was in any way related to our proposal,” he said. “It was weird speculation. It is pure and simply a restaurant on the sand. It is not privatising the beach, we are leasing the beach. [Food event] Taste of Manly is occurring the next week or week after – that is not privatising the beach.”
