The bar would front Como Crescent and would take over an existing empty tenancy which was once home to the tower’s sales office.

The applicant has asked council to allow the bar to operate from 10am-12am seven days a week and has argued that the proposal would “support the 24 hours per day, seven days a week nature of the CBD”.
