FROM THE PRESIDENT
Message to Members on Clubhouse Redevelopment Presentation
The Board is pleased to advise that the presentation to Members of the draft designs for the Clubhouse and associated facilities will take place at 6.30pm on Tuesday 4 March 2025 in the Clubhouse. Drop-In Information sessions will be held in the following 2 weeks.
This is a significant milestone in the process to update/modernise our Clubhouse and facilities and we ask that you please save the date.
This presentation is the culmination of significant work undertaken by our Clubhouse Redevelopment Committee (CRC) and KGC’s external consultants. Importantly we believe it has considered all viable alternatives and has been informed by feedback from the previous presentation to Members in April 2023 and, more latterly, by a detailed assessment of the results of, and responses to, the Member survey conducted in late 2024. The Clubhouse redevelopment will be an important cornerstone of the Club’s future Strategic Plan which will be shared with Members later in the year.
The Board’s current intention is to prepare and then lodge a Development Application with Ku-ring-gai Council for the Clubhouse and facilities redevelopment subject to a general consensus of the membership after the presentation and Member feedback sessions expressing their support for the Board’s intention.
We stress that this is not, and is not intended to be, a commitment to proceed with construction work on the Clubhouse and other facilities nor the sale of any Club land to fund any redevelopment which will be the subject of a formal general meeting in due course to comply with the Constitution of KGC and the Registered Clubs Act.
The CRC and the Board are excited to present the Clubhouse design concepts to Members and begin the process of Member understanding and obtaining your feedback.
A formal Member registration process will follow shortly so that we can determine numbers of attendees and make arrangements for matters such as audio-visual facilities and seating arrangements for the evening.
This is an important decision for KGC and we encourage all Members to attend the presentation and participate in determining the future of your Club.
We look forward to seeing you all on 4 March.
Steve Healy
