Chittaway Tavern is working to expand its business operations on the Central Coast, with the venue requesting that Central Coast Council revoke certain conditions attached to its alcohol trading licence. According to local reports, the tavern is specifically seeking changes to the conditions governing the supply and sale of alcohol, which were originally set when Council approved the venue's trading hours in July 2021.

The request to modify these conditions represents a significant moment for the hospitality sector on the Central Coast as venues continue to navigate post-pandemic recovery. If approved, the extended trading hours would allow the tavern to serve alcohol for longer periods, potentially boosting revenue and employment opportunities at the venue. The outcome of the council's review could signal the local authority's approach to supporting hospitality businesses seeking greater operational flexibility.
