At a resolution of ∼400au the main continuum core is essentially unresolved and isolated from other strong and compact emission peaks. We detect SiO (5-4) emission that is marginally resolved and elongated in a direction perpendicular to the large-scale outflow seen in the 13CO (2-1) line using the main ALMA array in conjunction with the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). Morphologically, the SiO appears to represent a disc-like structure. Using parametric models we show that the position-velocity profile of the SiO is consistent with the Keplerian rotation of a disc around an object between 10-30M in mass, only if there is also radial expansion from a separate structure. The radial motion component can be interpreted as a disc wind from the disc surface. Models with a central stellar object mass between 20 and 30M are the most consistent with the stellar luminosity 1x105L) and indicative of an O-type star. The H30α millimetre recombination line (231.9GHz) is also detected, but spatially unresolved, and is indicative of a very compact, hot, ionised region co-spatial with the dust continuum core. The broad line-width of the H30α emission (Full-Width-Half-Maximum=81.9km/s is not dominated by pressure-broadening but is consistent with underlying bulk motions. These velocities match those required for shocks to release silicon from dust grains into the gas phase. CH3CN and CH3OH thermal emission also shows two arc shaped plumes that curve away from the disc plane. Their coincidence with OH maser emission suggests that they could trace the inner working surfaces of a wide-angle wind driven by G17.64 which impacts the diffuse remnant natal cloud before being redirected into the large-scale outflow direction. Accounting for all observables, we suggest that G17.64 is consistent with a O-type young stellar object in the final stages of protostellar assembly, driving a wind, but that has not yet developed into a compact HII region. The existence and detection of the disc in G17.64 is likely related to its isolated and possibly more evolved nature, traits which may underpin discs in similar sources. Description: We observed G17.64+0.16 (AFGL 2136) with the 12m array of ALMA during cycle 2 in July and September 2015 (2013.1.00489.S). With baselines between 40 to 1500m the typical resulting resolution was ∼0.2". We covered a board continuum band (bandwidth=1.875GHz) and also had many higher frequency resolution, narrow bandwidth spectral windows targetting lines. Here we provide continuum maps, and the data cubes of 13CO, SiO, CH3CN K=3 and K=4, CH3OH and H30α. Continuum images as presented in the paper are mode with a briggs robust 0.5 and 1.5, whereas all data cubes for the molecular lines use robust 0.5 only. The data from the 12m observations were all self-calibrated using the strong point-like continuum source. In addition we provide ACA data that was taken on 27 November 2016 of the 13CO line. This data is calibrated by the standard ALMA pipeline.
