It comes after at least 20 business have closed across the city as others, including the city’s popular pub The Austral, faces an uncertain future.

Some businesses across the state have told The Advertiser they have been forced to raise prices on some services and items as they grapple with rising operating costs.

Last month, popular wine bar East End Cellars announced it would be increasing its corkage charge from $20 to $25.

With the double whammy of reduced consumer spending, breakfast burger bar chain Cheffy Chelby owner-operator Michelle Lowe earlier said a small coffee would be have to cost $8 for business to stay profitable. Earlier this year, she announced the closures of her last two restaurant sites.
