One of the most significant beachfront projects ever proposed for the small suburb of Miami on the Gold Coast, has taken a major step forward.&nbsp;Monaco Property Group has secured approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nalu-miami-122-marine-parade-qld-4220">NALU</a>, a $500 million development comprising just 45 ultra-luxury residences on the iconic former Nobby’s Outlook site.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Monaco Property Group approved for $500 million NALU apartments on Miami beach

The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

The popular Stomping Ground Brewing Company, is set to open its second brewpub in Melbourne’s South East. 
The independent brewery has signed a 10-year lease with Melbourne property investment and development firm, Up Property, to secure its place at their Morris Moor development in Moorabbin.
The team behind the popular Collingwood brewery and beer hall have secured a 630 sqm building as well as an accompanying permit, which will see the transformation of Moorabbin’s 60-year-old Phillip Morris manufacturing site.
Once home to mechanical facilities that serviced the entire 6.27 hectare site, Stomping Ground has plans to convert the existing building into a small brewery, beer hall, event space and large beer garden.
There is 400 square metres of outdoor area connected to the building as part of the lease.
Stomping Ground’s planned brewpub is set to become the anchor for the 3,080 square metre hospitality precinct at Morris Moor.
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Morris Moor was designed by multi award-winning architects Genton, working in consultation with award winning architecture and interior design firm Techne.

“As the site begins to take shape there has been a dramatic increase in leasing enquiries and traction from prospective tenants. We are currently negotiating 14,000sqm over 11 tenancies, further emphasising the demand amongst the local community for a multi-purpose urban destination,” Adam added.
The first spaces were ready to occupy late last year, and there are already 65 business’s located at Morris Moor, including start ups, technology and design focused companies.
Other tenants secured for Morris Moor, include Kids Club childcare centre, Clik Collective co-working &amp; co- warehousing facility and Schots Home Emporium, Melbourne’s much-loved furniture retailer who has already opened their 4,140 square metre showroom facility to the public at 19 Cochranes Road, Moorabbin.

A group of investors headed by former Yellow Brick Road owner David Carr has sold the Redcliffe Tavern and First Choice Liquor Superstore in Brisbane's north at a loss.
They sold for $14.5 million having paid $15 million in 2016.
The previous owner, Somerset Properties had bought it from Alceon for $11.5 million in 2014.
It sold in 2013 at $10.65 million.
The latest buyers, Anthony and Julian Vedelago's Wuvulu Property Investments, secured it on a yield of about 7.25% through Savills.
The 1464 square metre freestanding Anzac Avenue building sits on a 2313 square metre site.
It comprises a 643 square metre tavern and 821 square metre liquor store.
It was offered with a 20-year lease to Coles-owned Liquorland plus options to 2049.
The property was developed in 2009.
Nine Entertainment reported Carr played down the sales result and said the investor group had "come out ahead" when the deal was averaged out across a number of pub divestments.
"I don't see it as a turning point for the pub sector," Carr said.
He attributed the weaker sale result to "some uncertainty around the Coles business model in Queensland" during the sales campaign and described the property as more of a retail offering then a pub asset.
Carr runs Sydney wealth advisory firm DBR with Bernard Reilly who was also an investor in the Redcliffe Tavern.

The Duke of Gloucester Hotel, located in Sydney's Eastern suburbs has been listed for sale with a price tag of $30 million.
HTL Property's Sam Handy and Daniel Dragicevich hold the listing.
This campaign follows the recent sale of a number of Eastern Suburbs pubs including the Centennial Hotel (Woollahra), Royal Hotel (Bondi) and Bondi's Icebergs Bar and Dining Room.
Affectionately known by locals as the 'DOG', the hotel has been operated under management by the Good Beer Company on behalf of a private syndicate.
“We’ve had several unsolicited approaches to buy the DOG in recent times and decided to put it to market to focus on our redevelopment of the Keg &amp; Brew”, commented owner John Azar.
The syndicate acquired the hotel in a discreet off-market transaction from Newhaven Hotels in 2015 for a reported $17 million and immediately activated a $3.5 million renovation, refurbishment and reconfiguration.
The hotel, which boasts a 2am liquor licence and only has 19 gaming machines makes annual revenues in excess of $8 million.
It was #425 on OLGR's Dec-18 quarter rankings and outside of some hardware upgrades, the gaming room has remained largely untouched since the sale some four years ago.
HTL Property's Director Sam Handy advised, "the Duke of Gloucester Hotel is surrounded by several TOP 200 gaming rooms, all with the maximum gaming machine holding of 30 machines."
"An incoming purchaser would be strongly advised to immediately increase the hotel’s machine holding from 19 to the allowable 30 and doubling the size of the gaming room by extending into the existing TAB and smoking area," he added.
Set on a 746 sqm landholding it is situated at the cross section of Frenchmans Road and Clovelly Road in Randwick.
Spanning two levels the holding consists of three bars, two kitchens, TAB, designated gaming room and multiple outdoor areas. 
The Duke of Gloucester Hotel is being sold via private treaty.

Sydney's Duke of Gloucester Hotel listed for $30 million

The veteran pub family patriarch Arthur Laundy has bought the The Bells Hotel in Woolloomooloo, swooping pre-auction as an acquisitive battle continues between rival Sydney publicans across Sydney.
The price guidance had been around $15 million, highlighting the frothiness in hotel prices over recent years.
The historic 1920s pub was sold before Thursday's scheduled auction to the Laundy family which now owns almost 30 hotels across NSW, including venues such as the Watsons Bay Hotel, the Woolwich Pier near Hunters Hill and the Quarryman's Hotel in Pyrmont.
Laundy recently expressed concern about "silly prices", signalling he'd be steering clear of what he called a "crazy market", but The Bells was irresistible.
Rival hotelier Justin Hemmes had been pinpointed as also having an likely interest in buying the pub.
The Laundy family net worth is put at $500 million while Hemmes' is estimated to preside over a $950 million hospitality and liquor empire.
The 77 year old Laundy is credited as heading the biggest independent hotel operator in New South Wales, which includes the neighbouring Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel which cost $20 million two years ago.
It was the Miles family who called time at The Bells after initially securing the leasehold in 1976.
The family bought Tooth out in 1990.
The pub at 1 Bourke Street was known for legendary matriarch Lil Miles, who worked behind the bar until age 96.
Erin Petersen, from the Miles family, said there had been a number of pre-auction offers.
“The family has loved the 45 years at Bells and while it is the end of an era for us we are happy to sell to Arthur, a long time local publican, who we are sure will only be an asset to further develop the potential of our much-loved pub” said Petersen.
The sale was secured by Andrew Jolliffe who has sold more than $1.75 billion of pubs in the past six years including the Centennial in Woollahra on behalf of the Medich family to Merivale's Justin Hemmes.
The Laundy family company, which has been in pubs since the 1940s, includes scions Stuart, the socialite publican who briefly won Sophie Monk's heart on The Bachelorette, and the politician Craig, who has been the Liberal member of Reid since 2013.
Arthur Laundy typically fronts up every day at the Laundy headquarters in the Twin Willows Hotel, built in 1963 by his late father at Bass Hill in Sydney's south-west after the land cost 38,000 pounds. 
The family pub business had began when Arthur's parents Arthur Sr and Veronica took on the Sackville Hotel at Rozelle in 1945.
It was in 1969 when young Arthur and wife-to-be Margaret took the reins of the family business, which was then just two hotels including the Twin Willows.
Jolliffe noted that interest in the Bells, a prominently positioned asset, was drawn from a wide spectrum of well-known hospitality operatives and commercial property specialists.
There have been four other hotel properties in the past few weeks, Jolliffe noted.
Sydney's biggest publicans include the Waugh family, the Ryan family, Peter Calligeros, the De Angelis family, the Arnout brothers, and Pat and Angela Gallgaher.
Hemmes and his family have ownership of 70 hotels, restaurants and venues around Sydney.
The sale comes on the eve of hotel giant Redcape’s billion-dollar stock market listing later this month.
The Bells Hotel, located adjacent to the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf, features a main bar, bistro, courtyard, accommodation spanning the entire first level, and eight electronic gaming machines.
There had been a pub on the 340 square metre Bourke Street corner address since the 1860s.
The original ale house was called Punches servicing the workers of the wharves.
The Miles family lost a family member at the hotel in 2004 when Shane Miles, died from massive head injuries after being hit in the head with a bar stool during a wild brawl at his family's pub.

The Lucky Coq premises on Windsor's Chapel Street for sale

<html><body>
The beers at Paddington's Four in Hand Hotel will continue to be poured after people power stopped its mooted residential conversion.
The popular pub is set to remain trading, to the joyous shouts of the locals, who'd campaigned against its sale and conversion into a luxury home.
The saviour emerged yesterday afternoon in the Good Beer Company, headed by George Azar and run by his nephew John, who paid around $7 million for the premises. 
"It would be a shame to lose it," John told the Daily Telegraph.
"It's a great pub," adding he was keen to introduce lots of craft beers behind the heritage bar. 
The hoteliers own two other pubs in the east, Randwick's The Dog Hotel and the Keg &amp; Brew in Surry Hills.
The listing of the landmark Sutherland Street building triggered protests against the possibility of its conversion into a residence or even worse apartments.
The locals campaigned that the uniqueness of Paddington would be lost. 
Woollahra Council stepped in with its heritage protection of the pub's facade.
The hotel was offloaded by the hotelier brothers Mitchell and Ashton Waugh who bought it in 2015 for $8 million with the celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge soon after departing the 1870s establishment.
The Waugh brothers moved the valuable pokies licence to other venues and were initially seeking to sell the property as residential.
Paddington has lost other pubs including the Windsor Castle which became an $11.85 million four level house.
The local resident lobby group amassed over 12,000 signatures urging it remain as a hotel.
Some of the big names who campaigned included House Husbands star Rhys Muldoon, Prime Media executive John Hartigan, local solicitor Nick Eddy and the formerThe Daily Telegraph and New York Post editor Col Allan and. 
"Quite clearly there are hospitality properties out there which enjoy alternative use opportunities; however, in my view some are simply either too iconic or important to the fabric of a community to make wholesale changes to, and I think this is true of the Four in Hand," listing agent Andrew Jolliffe said.
Jolliffe said it was "incumbent" upon the vocal Paddington community to back up the fervor shown over recent weeks with a show of patronage.

People power saves popular Four in Hand Paddington pub from residential conversion 

<html><body>
Paddington's landmark Four in Hand Hotel premises are set to be traded for the second time in three years, and be sold as a house.
The hotel and operations were bought by hotelier brothers Mitchell and Ashton Waugh in 2015 for $8 million. They bought it from celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge and business partner Joe Saleh.
The Waugh brothers are now seeking to move the pokie and liquor licence to another venue and sell the property as residential.
They aren't short of choices. They own the nearby Woollahra Hotel and The Royal among others.

The two storey property will offer around 700 sqm of living area when turned into a home, although the heritage-listed front will need to remain the same.
Ray White Double Bay agents Gavin Rubinstein and Jerome Strot have a May 24 auction.
They says its a rare residential opportunity.

It is being marketed as having four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Currently the property is configured with partly divided dining spaces on the upper level, with a corner terrace fronting Sutherland Street.
There are two bars, one on each level, as well as the games rooms which currently home six pokie machines.

A mid-19th century pub in Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Abbotsford has changed hands for $3.18 million, well above the reserve price of $2.25 million.
The sale highlights the strong market for pub transactions. 
The <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-hotel+leisure-vic-abbotsford-502495522" target="_blank">Park Hotel at 191 Nicholson Street</a> was advertised for sale via auction on September 1 through Knight Frank.
It sold on a 2.6 per cent yield.
The property currently returns $83,340 p.a.net. and rent increases are 4 percent annually.
The current lease term of three years ends in 2018 with a further term of 3 years.
It has a front bar, dining room, commercial kitchen, beer garden and upstairs accommodation.
The site area is about 480 sqm.
It was sold by two brothers who had owned the venue as an investment for 35 years.
Selling agents Andrew Greenway and Paul Pellegrino of Knight Frank said the buyer had no intention of redeveloping the building into apartments, a now-common trend with Melbourne's popular pubs, Fairfax Media reported.
