There's fresh hope for the future of the former Newcastle Post Office.
The Herald reports the Awabakal Aboriginal Land Council approved the sale of the iconic building last night to hotel mogul, Dr Jerry Schwartz for $3.5 million.
He wants to turn the building's first floor into a function centre.
The ground floor is expected to feature wedding retail outlets like dress shops, florists and photographers, while the basement is likely to be used as an Aboriginal cultural area.
Work could commence before Christmas.
