The JRPP was set to determine on Decemeber 9, 2020 for a development application to extend Robertson Hotel for $50 million.

The DA has been resubmitted to council as of January 13, 2021.

A Wingecarribee Shire Council spokesperson said the proposed JRPP meeting was cancelled due to a number of development matters.

"It had to be clarified based on the advice of key state agencies," they said.

"The plans were revised and received by Council in late-2020. Council is in the process of re-notifying adjacent owners.

"It is likely to be put to the JRPP for determination in the first half of 2021."

If approved, the extension will add a four-story addition to the rear of the hotel to accommodate 46 new rooms, a function centre and basement car park.

Thirteen new eco-tourist cabins, seven new eco-tourist villas, a new swimming pool and leisure centre has also been included in the development.

A refurbishment of the worker's cottage into an artist studio, a new reception and new internal roads and pedestrian pathways have also been listed.

The application was lodged on March 3 2020. The exhibition period for the development was from May 15 to June 22.

Formerly known as Ranelagh House and Fountaindale Grand Manor, the building was constructed in 1925 by prominent Southern Highland architect Alf Stephens and Sons.

The property has served as a hotel, a WRAAF base, a place of rest and recovery for returning soldiers post World War II, as a Franciscan Friary and seminary in 1947.

In the 1980s the property served to protect injured wildlife and in 1995 the film 'Babe' was filmed on the grounds of the Robertson Hotel.

Robertson Hotel was contacted for comment.
