3. Mrs Beverly Earnshaw asked -

(a) Is it true that there is a proposal before Standing Committee to allow an area within the St Andrew's Cathedral building to be leased for use as a licensed restaurant?

(b) Where in the Cathedral building is it proposed to locate such a licensed restaurant?

To which the President replied -

(a) Yes, the Glebe Administration Board is working on a proposal to convert the present Cathedral offices to a restaurant, coffee shop or cafe. However, the Cathedral Chapter will not give its consent to specific changes to and uses of the Cathedral buildings until it sees the proposals in final detail. It has, however, consented in principle to the proposal.

(b) The Cathedral offices being mostly 20th century additions on the northern side of the Cathedral, replacing urinals that had been added in 1872.
