Restaurant development at 143 Stoney Creek Road refused

The Panel refused DA2025/0397 for demolition works and construction and use of a restaurant at 143 Stoney Creek Road, Beverly Hills. Reasons included inadequate vehicular access, impacts on trees, an acoustic report not meeting relevant standards, and unacceptable neighbourhood amenity impacts including noise and lighting associated with proposed operating hours.

Residents near the site will not see the proposed restaurant proceed in its current form, with the refusal citing traffic, tree protection and amenity concerns.
