Redevelopment Update: November 2025
The Transition – The New Generation With the rain finally clearing, builders have been able to make significant progress. Groundwork is now complete, paving the way for the foundations that will support the new structure—particularly the upper concrete levels of the club. As noted in my previous update, underground challenges combined with adverse weather delayed the program by several weeks, but momentum has returned.
The Continual Rise - The first suspended slab has been poured, and the club marked the occasion with a traditional Slab Party—celebrating not only the first suspended concrete pour but also the largest pour on site to date. 230 cubic metres (440 tons) of concrete13 tons of steel reinforcement Steel delivered by 90-ton cranes41 concrete trucks working in tandem to pump and deliver What a day! This new extended area off the current Lounge Bar will house upgraded amenities—male, female, and accessible toilets—along with a new stairwell and lift leading to a casual dining space and bar, serviced by a commercial kitchen. To the north and west, a private 20-seat dining room will overlook the pool, complemented by an elevated dining bar. The next concrete pour extended the slab north, adjacent to the pool, creating the base for an elevated alfresco dining area. This will form the roof over poolside seating and the kids’ playground. In early November, the final suspended slab was poured—90 cubic metres (180 tons) of concrete—off the top deck function room. This area will feature two large doors opening onto a 20-metre glass-balustraded deck. With all suspended slabs now complete, the framework will begin, followed by roofing in mid to late December.
At this stage, members will now see the full frame and structure of the club’s new section, it will be framed with scaffolding until nearly the end of the works due to the exterior works required. In the mix of concrete pours, the internalsteps have been completed along with the new lift shaft to the first level and thatwill transform the access to all levels of the club from the top reception atthe front of the building. The old Brasserie has been demolished and work forthe wellness centre has begun with jackhammering and saw cutting for thedrainage for the new treatment rooms. We have also started the demolition of thereception foyer toilets that will be upgraded to fit the new look areas of the club which were much needed.
The foyer and function room will be uplifted with new carpet, paint, storage areas, ceiling, lighting, speakers, and as mentioned two new doors leading onto the new twenty-metre deck to the west. There will bean additional storage room and disabled toilet located on this level. The top-level reception area which will be uplifted with new paint, tiles, cabinetry, lighting and reception desk that will lead into the new lift foyer. New tiled stairs, railing and balustradewill continue down into the newly renovated lounge bar with the relocation ofthe trophy cabinet, doors leading into the new addition along with the barhaving a face lift.The club has brought back the Great Vibeson Fridays and Sunday afternoon with live music, pizza, pasta and hibachi seafoodbonanza for summer. Members are reminded that the Lounge Bararea is open Friday’s through to Sunday’s, and food can be ordered or deliveredto that area during construction if the weather isn’t conducive.
The Members We thank the members for their patience with the carparking during the works, as you can imagine this is a large logistical exercise which we have completed some traditional dates without too much inconvenience, such as October long weekend, Oktober fest, the clubs opening day, and the timber boat festival. There will be some groundwork in the carpark after the Timber Boat Festival for the new grease arrestor, the new kitchen, the club has installed a larger capacity grease arrestor to replace the two aging tanks to the south and east of the building which supported the function room kitchen and the brasserie which is now demolished. I would also like to assure members that we have their best interest in mind to ensure these works are managed to avoid any inconveniences and we continue to work with the builders and members to ensure that we navigate the parking issues during the works. If you want to learn more, please checkout the website and there will be further Site & Information Tours in the new year.
