Audacious bid for world's smallest eatery at Hill 60

One table, two chairs, and a very, very big dream.Self-described entrepreneur Henk Haasjes has hatched a grand plan to transform a bunker at Port Kembla's historic Hill 60 into the smallest restaurant in the world.Mr Haasjes, who claims to have pulled off a similar concept in his native Netherlands, says the restaurant will transform Wollongong into a global tourist hub.The city's tourism chief has welcomed the wild idea - as long as it is economically viable.Port Kembla's highest point, Hill 60 is a former Aboriginal settlement used as an army gun battery in World War II.Mr Haasjes' plan - outlined in a nine-minute YouTube video - would turn a half-demolished concrete bunker into a tiny restaurant for two, with uninterrupted views along the Illawarra coastline.But it doesn't stop there. Mr Haasjes, a former Cringila resident now living in the ACT, would build a penthouse apartment in the tunnels leading into the bunker, replete with a pool, spa, mini bar and home theatre.Guests, who would vie for a table through a national radio competition, would be flown in by helicopter."Hill 60 is beautiful. It's a pity that [authorities] never did anything better with it," Mr Haasjes said. "Now it's full of graffiti and drug users and it's a liability to [the] council, it's a very unsafe spot."The ambitious venture, tentatively priced at $2-4 million, would give Wollongong "a name all over the world", Mr Haasjes said.And who will pay for this, you ask? His unique funding model hinges on demolition of the iconic copper smelter chimney stack at Port Kembla, slated for the end of this year.He would run a national phone lottery - dubbed the "Stackpot" - to coincide with the stack's felling. A phone number in 2m high letters would be painted along the chimney.If you think it all sounds a little far fetched, the 47-year-old says the idea is a proven winner.In 1999 Mr Haasjes established Kiliaen, then also hailed as the smallest restaurant in the world, in the Dutch city of Hasselt.It was "booked out for five years" but forced to close after nine months after a fallout with the council, he said.Tourism Wollongong chairman Matt Davidson welcomed Mr Haasjes' entrepreneurial spirit."Anything that adds to visitor experience is welcome - as long as it fits in with zoning and council approval," he said. "We should all certainly support them, if they are viable."
