Maitland City Council approved a development application, at Tuesday’s meeting, to knock over the buildings and construct the river link archway.
The river link building is the key feature of the second stage of the multi-million dollar Central Maitland revamp.
Bailey’s Jewellers and New Look Eyewear will have to relocate after council purchased 396, 398 and 400 High Street for demolition.
The river link structure will feature public amenities and a cafe/wine bar.
“If people liked what they saw from the first stage of The Levee, then I think they are going to be blown away by what they see in stage two,” Cr Philip Penfold told the meeting.
