Developer Brendan McHugh had to take his fight for the kennels all the way to Land and Environment Court after Bathurst councillors twice rejected the advice of senior staff to approve the Dunkeld development.
The failed case cost Bathurst Regional Council well over $100,000 in court costs.
But now the Dunkeld Pet Hotel is really taking shape on Marys Lane and Mr McHugh plans for it to be the best of its kind in NSW.
Just last week he took delivery of 20 custom-designed cat cages and 24 state-of-the-art kennels are also nearing completion.
“My goal has always been to make this facility certainly the best in the Central West, if not NSW,” he said.
“We will only be allowing dogs in here through an interview process so that vicious dogs will not be welcome. That is a great comfort to the owners of small dogs, in particular.”
