One of southwest Sydney’s biggest housing estates is set to finally welcome a first pub, with the project linked to some of the city’s most popular venues.
The venue, to be known as Willowdale Hotel, has been proposed in Denham Court’s masterplanned Willowdale estate and will be located just off Camden Valley Way on Barbula Rd.
The 350ha masterplanned community is being developed by Stockland and is expected to be home for 10,000 people on completion.
Planning documents reveal the $8.5 million pub would include a kids’ playground, as well as lounge bar, sports bar, dining area, bottle shop and gaming area.
“The hotel has been designed and will be constructed as a family-friendly local hotel with a strong focus on food and dining offering,” the documents state.
“The new pub will create a new benchmark in Willowdale in terms of quality food, facilities, service and provide a new place for social gathering.”
The backers behind the proposed pub include brothers Edward and Justin Malouf, the owner-operators of the Royal Oak Hotel in Double Bay and The Bellevue Hotel in Paddington.
The Malouf family was also behind the development of Gregory Hills Hotel, located less than 10 minutes away, which has been a popular family friendly venue in the Camden area.
The third person involved in the Willowdale Hotel project is publican Martin Short, who is linked to The Australian Hotel at The Rocks.
The project will be assessed by Campbelltown Council.
