The owners of the Central Hotel, Moss Vale have recently applied for a liquor licence.
A Wingecarribee Shire Council spokesperson said the council had been advised that an application for a liquor licence had been submitted through the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority.
"We are currently reviewing development consents and will work with relevant parties to progress the application," they said.
First built in 1897, the Central Hotel was initially called the Tattersall Hotel, owned by licensee Thomas Tate.
Mr Tate then sold it to John Cullen in 1883, who passed the licence to Edward Aland, the husband of John Cullen's daughter Elizabeth.
In 1891, the Alands family changed the name to the Central Hotel and began renovations in 1906, decorating it with an elegant first floor wrap-around verandah, timber posts and fine balustrade. They held the licence until 1910 and sold the property in 1914.
The Central Hotel closed in 2013.
In recent years, the Central Hotel location was the subject of a proposed Woolworths. It was refused by Wingecarribee Shire Council in 2016.
According to the Commerical Real Estate website, the property was last sold on May 26, 2021 via an expression of interest.
