Tamworth Regional Council approves demolition of old NBN building for city's first Guzman y Gomez

The old NBN TV station at 226 Bridge Street in West Tamworth will be demolished with Tamworth Regional Council approving a development application for the city's first Guzman y Gomez.

During the public exhibition period, council received three submissions from the community addressing their concerns.

"The submitter's concerns have been considered as a part of the assessment of the application," council's determination letter said.

"The proposed development is considered to be of an appropriate scale and form for the site and the character of the locality."

Council deemed the 20-space car park and landscaping for the site acceptable and said the development is "suitable and its approval is within the public interest".
