FUNDING UPDATE

The community engagement forum was a great success. Thanks to the members, their families and our community for engaging with the Council and the architects about the future of our club.

Next step is for further engagement with our members ahead of the architects preparing their first concept plans in mid 2023. The current timeline aims for DA approval in late 2024.
