The address audit checked on 29 September 2026 selects 8–12 Sydney Street from venue-specific directions and corroborating sources. The general owner-page Sydney Road wording remains a historical source discrepancy; this is not a new directions check.

Historical Google scope note, recorded 2026-09-28: The exact stored Place ID/CID remains operational and identifies the whole named brewery/pub/bistro operation at 8–12 Sydney Street. The owner describes that same integrated operation as The Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre, and the ranked profile covers that whole operation. Preserve the Road/Street address conflict already documented; no restaurant or property aggregate is used.
