Katoomba. Largest in the mountains

Woolworths proposes to establish the largest liquor shop in the Blue Mountains by applying to transfer an existing liquor licence it holds in Jindabyne to Katoomba. A DA states the company plans to build a 1420 square metre liquor shop, with 57 off-street car parking spaces in the vacant block next to the Blackburn’s Family Hotel and Bottlemart outlet The application has attracted strong opposition including a submission by the Katoomba Chamber of Commerce and some strong words from Blue Mountains deputy mayor Janet Mays. Hundreds of people have signed a petition aimed at stopping a Woolworths-owned liquor store opening in Springwood.
