At the Annual General Meeting (25 November 2020), the Board announced that the Maintenance/Greenkeepers shed had been approved for replacement in 2021. For many years, the existing shed has served the Club well, although in recent times ensuring its regulatory compliance has proven challenging. The shed is a once in a generation asset replacement project that will create an efficient & modern maintenance facility which will significantly enhance the long-term capabilities of the Club.
The escalation of the maintenance shed replacement project would not have been possible without the support of a generous club benefactor.
An extensive consultation & design phase has been completed, and a building contract will soon be finalized with construction commencing late March. It is envisaged that the construction period will be 20-24 weeks.
The existing shed will be demolished and the new building constructed on the same site. The task will also include landscaping the surrounds, including the high traffic areas between the 27th green and the clubhouse.
A temporary maintenance compound will be created throughout the construction phase at the rear of the clubhouse; this will require approximately 20 car parks to be temporarily reclaimed plus the adjacent “grassed area”. In coming days, several shipping containers will be delivered to the compound site to store maintenance equipment.
Although every effort is being made to minimise inconvenience, it is inherent with this scale project, so we ask for your patience. This is an exciting undertaking, and regular updates will be provided as the project progresses.
