A major motel complex is proposed for Narrabri.
A development application, currently displayed on the NSW Planning Portal, describes a three-level, 48-room motel at 27-33 Maitland Street diagonally opposite the Narrabri Shire Council building.
The complex will include a mix of room styles ranging up to executive suites, two function rooms, a swimming pool and gymnasium and a manager’s residence.
Parking will provide for 46 cars and coach space.
The proposal outlines plans for function rooms to cater for small to medium-sized groups for corporate events and private functions.
A kitchen area will provide meals for guests and visitors.
The proposed development would be a licensed venue, with alcohol service available during afternoon and evening hours to guests, in dedicated areas of the motel such as the lounge and function rooms and including room service, the motel proposal outlines.
The proposal notes that Narrabri has been announced by the NSW government as one of several Special Activation Precincts.
“The strategic direction thus far outlined for the Narrabri precinct is a thriving energy hub targeting industries such as value-added production, manufacturing and freight and logistics, generating local and regional employment growth.
“It would also leverage key infrastructure such as the Inland Rail and Narrabri gas.
“Tourism would be a critical support for the projected local and regional economic growth and employment.
“It is already one of the key economic drivers for the region.
“The proposed motel would support the strategic directions for Narrabri, by catering for tourists, visitors and itinerant workers, as may be boosted by the Special Activation Precinct.”
