The first floor of a shopping precinct could be transformed into a late-night karaoke bar and lounge in Canley Heights, planning documents reveal.
VIP Karaoke, known for its bar and lounge in Liverpool, has filed paperwork to open a second venue in Canley Heights’ West Village. The application details spending $600,000 to transforming the first floor into a 350-capacity site that’ll offer 11-rooms, arcade games and a smoker’s lounge.
“The proposed use is unique to the locality and is proposed to fill a gap in the Cabramatta and Fairfield areas for entertainment of this type which has become increasingly popular,” an environmental report commissioned by VIP Karaoke states.
“The range of entertainment offerings proposed is to cater to and reflect the demand for a diversity of entertainment experiences.”
The 11 rooms will be primarily used for karaoke, but they can also be used for watching movies and sporting games, as well as for group gaming, according to planning documents. A basketball arcade, electronic darts and pool lounge are also detailed.
Karaoke room pricing at the business’ Liverpool venue varies. The smallest room can fit six people and costs $45 per hour, while the largest accommodates 45 people and costs $230 per hour.
The business is applying for a liquor licence at the Canley Heights venue, the planning documents state. It’ll feature a smoking room “to minimise any impact at the street at ground level and where patrons are able to be easily monitored”.
The venue plans on opening every day from 3pm till midnight, rostering up to 16 staff per day.
VIP Karaoke is currently seeking approval from Fairfield Council for its second venue. Its plans are on public exhibition for two weeks until December 27.
