The complex is home to a popular restaurant and wedding venue 'Milano's On The Lake', near Lake Macquarie.

The spokeswoman said two people were inside the building at the time it collapsed but both escaped unharmed.

Emergency crews had turned off gas and electricity to the two-storey building to prevent any further risks.

A spokesman for Milano's took to Facebook to update the public.

"Everyone is ok, just here with emergency services now," the spokesman said.
