Currently there is a proposed development application (DA) to partly demolish the building to construct a hotel which is on public exhibition at Mid-Western Regional Council.

If you oppose this DA please lodge your comments online to council here. We have 2 more weeks to lodge formal comments in by 4:30pm 1 December 2017. Join our Facebook group here to share positive ideas, memories and conversation on why we want to Revive The Regent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/842383315899492/
