“We’re getting a lot more people commenting about<br />
how the pub looks and it definitely stands out more,<br />
which is what we wanted from the renovations.”<br />
HERITAGE CONCERNS<br />
Some historians voiced concerns about the effect the<br />
upgrade would have on the hotel’s art deco appearance.<br />
However, the art deco look wasn’t added until the<br />
1930s and the pub has undergone several renovations<br />
since then.<br />
Council saw merit in the new development and<br />
ultimately decided that the Hurley Group had<br />
“satisfactorily demonstrated that the proposal will not<br />
detract from the heritage value of the building”.<br />
Now, not only does the completed project retain the art<br />
deco facade, the styling on the new balcony introduces<br />
new art deco inspiration.<br />
“We wanted to keep the heritage of the pub because it’s<br />
something that we’re really proud of,” Scott said.<br />
“We tried really hard – and successfully I think – to still<br />
complement the original build of the hotel.<br />
“Everything we’ve done, we tried to keep that art<br />
deco feel inside and outside and I think we did that<br />
really well.”<br />
