It is yet to be approved; a social impact assessment has been prepared and is on exhibition. The hotel will contain 13 storeys - levels 1 and 2 for functions etc, 10 for accommodation, and the top level for a cocktail bar, gymnasium and outdoor pool. Parking is for 40 cars. The development will be known as "Heritage Hotel St Peters Circa 1871".
