Adelaide’s Buffalo restaurant to be knocked down
The site of a former restaurant in a replica of HMS Buffalo is set to be demolished next month due to its dilapidated state.
The well-known former Buffalo restaurant at Adelaide beachside suburb Glenelg will be completely demolished after being approved by Holdfast Bay Council.
The site last operated as a restaurant in 2013. In 2017, plans were approved for a $1 million redevelopment that included a new restaurant, outdoor bar and alfresco dining area, as well as a kiosk and deck. However that has been shelved due to state of disrepair.
“(The) council accepts that the passage of time has taken its toll and that this is now the only practical outcome for the dilapidated replica,” a statement from Holdfast Bay Council said.
“(The) council will now consider the best ongoing utilisation of this open community space in the coming months.”
