Designed by Dovetail Design Group, the proposal includes the complete fit-out of the subterranean tenancy which would include new display areas and cabinetry, flooring and furniture as well as the back of house manages office, storeroom and staff areas. The proposal also includes external signage along the Queen Street Mall.

Currently, there is a council requirement to provide a pedestrian link through the tenancy during Queen Street Mall hours of operation to further enhance access and permeability of Burnett Lane.

The applicant, however, is arguing that there is no need for a pedestrian cross-link due to recent developments activating the Laneway as well as securing a long term ‘high profile tenancy’.
