T2 nightclub plans a return

Owners of the controversial T2 nightclub in Darlinghurst’s Taylor Square have marked their intention to reopen the club’s doors after it was closed by the City of Sydney earlier this year.
Ranglen Investments Pty Ltd have submitted an application for a Place of Public Entertainment (PoPE) to allow musicians, singers, DJs, and a dance floor between the hours of 7am and 3am, seven days a week. It has also proposed outdoor seating between the hours of 7am and 10pm daily.
The nightclub ? which includes T2 Basement and Vegas Lounge ? was found to be operating without development approval and without an entertainment license by the Land and Environment Court in February. The ruling meant that it was not allowed to continue to operate as a nightclub but could remain a hotel.
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP commented at the time that the court decision was a win for local residents and nearby business after years of complaints about anti-social behaviour involving the club’s patrons.
“There have been ongoing complaints about this premises, particularly on weekends when a day club operates, effectively creating 24-hour trading,” Ms Moore said in February.
The development application will be open to public comment until July 11.
