Bayside Mayor, Cr Alex del Porto said that the permit allows the hotel to be used for community care accommodation offering wellness and rehabilitation programs.
"The decision to issue a Notice of Decision to grant the amended permit with conditions aims to address resident concerns while enabling the provision of valuable care services.
Council set conditions for the use including a 12-month review of the management plan for the facility, a participant limit, minimum staffing levels and measures to ensure active management/monitoring of the premises.
Community care facilities play an important role in supporting the physical and mental health of the community and I am confident the conditions imposed by Council will help to ensure the services can operate effectively and unobtrusively."
