One resident said loud staff would “disturb the peace” on their breaks; another was worried knocked-over bins would attract people “looking for food”.
Residents living near the proposed location of Sydney’s Soho House have forced the project’s developers back to the drawing board after complaining that staff would “disturb the peace” by talking too loudly on breaks and that guests would knock over bins attracting people “looking for food”.
The Smorgon family and its development partners want to turn this Darlinghurst building into a local outpost of Soho House.Soho House had already abandoned plans to develop a club in Victoria – transforming the historic Poolman House mansion in South Yarra – after opposition from residents and the City of Melbourne.
In one email, a neighbour of the proposed three-storey development said they were concerned “some residents/visitors will deliberately kick bins over and a lot of people will go through the bins looking for food”. Others were concerned about rats.
Private clubs are now big business and have been ballooning in number across the Asia Pacific. Soho House already has venues in Hong Kong, Mumbai and Bangkok. Australia is not immune., in Melbourne earlier this year. There is now a waitlist to be considered for membership. He has plans for more sites in Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

'All this money that has been pumped into the system has not actually helped those children who are really struggling,' she told Sky News Australia. 'So what happens at the moment is the federal government hands over vast amounts of money to schooling authorities that might be ... states and territories, and those states and territories allocate (the money) any way they like. 'I think what the federal government will be doing from now on is tying strings to this money, saying this money must be used for professional development ... or this must be used for tutoring and working out ... the most effective way to spend it.
