Cr John Levett who brought forward the motion said with over 100 submissions made so far, there was significant community interest in the development.

"Most of [the submissions are] critical of the nature of the development, size, the scope of it and it's sensitive location," he said.

"On that basis alone and in the public interest I choose to call it to council for determination.

"So members of the public can take the opportunity to address council and put forward their views on it because it is a contentious development and one of enormous significance."

The proposal for 3 Moona Street, Huskisson and will include a multi-level 40-room motel, food and drink premises, a commercial space (day spa), guest gym, pool and an apartment building containing 39 residential units.
