THE Subiaco Redevelopment Authority has approved the development of a $4.5 million tavern to be built by Perth tavern owner Sonja Gastevich.
Sonja currently operates the Old Bailey Tavern in Joondalup and started construction of the East Perth tavern, Bailey on the Majestic, about a month ago.
She lodged a liquor licence application in February this year for The Bailey at Centro, located on the grass reserve outside Subiaco train station, and is awaiting an outcome.
