Please see attached images of the proposed green replacement.
One of the most significant design changes for this hole will be the removal of the Bunker. It’s been established over several years that the bunker has contributed to the damage of the putting surface. The soon to be replaced retain wall on the left side of the hole and the new green will deliver resilience but flooding will continue to be a risk in this part of the course.
The Department of Tourism & Sport have confirmed the appointment of the construction contractor and have advised that works will soon commence. They have also informed the club that the funding for the project has increased as final quotes exceeded the initial budget. Under the Deed of Agreement these costs are not responsibly of the Club.
Although this has been a long and challenging process , the project costs will likely exceed $500k which has been fully funded via Qld Government support.
