Unfortunately, it has lain vacant for the past couple of years and prior to that its occupiers failed financially. We recognised that a major improvement was needed to enable businesses to operate successfully in the space, which in turn would have the benefit of reconnecting people to the waterfront. We have been fortunate to have the strong support of the Liberal Government via Minister Hidding as well as the support of Tasports. The dilapidated “marina” has been removed and our proposal will enable businesses and the public to enjoy the prime waterfront position 365 days a year by undertaking a world-class development of the external waterfront areas. In the history of the Murray Street Pier, people have only been able to enjoy a close connection to the waterfront when the weather is fine and sunny — the result has been minimal usage. We want to change that and are willing to spend a vast amount of money on the property to ensure it is successful. We believe it will complement recent improvements in the area such as the widening of the footpaths around Morrison Street and refurbishment of Princes Wharf No 1. We have engaged leading interior designer Paul Kelly of Paul Kelly Design, Sydney, who also designed Cargo, Jack Greene and Observatory Bar. We have been fortunate to secure Patrick Stanton as our project manager and the team has devised a two-stage approach for the development of Murray Street Pier. Stage One Stage one proposes the development of a new restaurant with a Mexican theme at the front and north side of the building, including an extensive outdoor all-weather seating area as well as the overall refurbishment of the entire building. The costs associated with the works to be completed in stage one have been estimated at $3 million. We believe the substantial investment will vastly increase the overall appeal of the area around Murray Street Pier and help connect the waterfront with Salamanca . Should we receive council approval in a timely manner we will finalise stage one and open the new venue in February 2017. Pub Banc Group Pty Ltd & Hotel Banc Group Pty Ltd 19 Morrison Street, HOBART TAS 7000 GPO Box 101, HOBART TAS 7001 Tel: 03 6224 3761 The new restaurant will trade seven days a week and is expected to employ approximately 40 staff members. It will be managed by the same experienced team as our other successful venues. Stage Two Stage two will see another investment of at least $1 million for the establishment of a restaurant with a fish and chips theme at the rear and south side of the building, including an outdoor seating area with an appealing view of Salamanca Place. Pending council approval, we are looking at opening this restaurant in June 2017. Under the guidance of the existing management team, this new restaurant will also trade seven days a week and is expected to employ approximately 20 staff members.

I acknowledge that the negotiations with Tasports over the next 20 year lease for this site were stressful and protracted, but I do agree with you that the outcome will now allow you to undertake a major redevelopment of this landmark site. With the somewhat derelict marina removed and the development footprint on the wharf finally agreed, I am very keen to see your major investment in the site underway. I am delighted to see that your architects have addressed the previously "dead" areas of the waterfront, including the area currently housing umbrellas, as well as the space between the waters edge and the current window wall of the restaurant.
