The Southern Region Planning Panel will meet on December 9 to decide on the fate of the significant tourism development of the heritage property.
The DA hopes to add a four-storey addition to the rear of the hotel to accommodate 46 new rooms, a function centre and basement car park.
Thirteen new eco-tourist cabins, seven new eco-tourist villas, a new swimming pool and leisure centre has also been included in the development.
A refurbishment of the workers cottage into an artist studio, a new reception and new internal roads and pedestrian pathways have also been listed.
Formerly known as Ranelagh House and Fountaindale Grand Manor, the building was constructed in 1925 by prominent Southern Highland architect Alf Stephens and Sons.
The property has served as a hotel, a WRAAF base, as place of rest and recovery for returning soldiers post World War II and as a Franciscan Friary and seminary in 1947.
In the 1980s the property served to protect injured wildlife and in 1995 the film 'Babe' was filmed on the grounds of the Robertson Hotel.
Mr Gordon Kirkby will chair the meeting on December 9 from 9am.
