The Boy & the Rose Café has sought approval from Central Coast Council for a change of use from shop to food and drink premises to accommodate a small wine bar in the future.
It has been operating as a café since 2015 and already has permission for outdoor seating at 21-23 North Avoca Pde, North Avoca.
The area holds a capacity of up to 60 patrons – 15-20 indoors and up to 40 outdoors.
An acoustic assessment by Spectrum Acoustics was submitted as part of the development application.
“The venue is very small and the applicant has advised that music would not be played externally and would only be loud enough so as not to interfere with conversation,” the DA says.
There are approximately 10 tables outside the cafe, weather dependent, and these could cater for a maximum of 20-30 patrons.
Results of the acoustic assessment have shown that the received noise at the nearest residential receivers will not exceed the adopted noise criteria as a result of noise emissions from the venue.
The DA says that the business will open at 6am every day and close at 1pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and at 2pm on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Hours might be extended for special occasions, for example Mother’s Day.
The development application (DA/2004/2024) can be viewed on Council’s website and public feedback will be accepted until February 10.
