Club Redevelopment
The Club is undergoing a significant redevelopment as it approaches its100-year anniversary in September 2026. With a rich history spanning 99 years, marked by continuous evolution to meet the needs and wants of our members, this redevelopment aims to blend the Club's origins with modern amenities to cater to future demands while preserving its heritage.
As most members will be aware the Club submitted a Development Application to Council for exciting renovations to our Club last year. The Board and management are pleased to announce that after some 15 months since submitting a DA, we have received approval from Council.
We are a Club for our members and can't wait to bring our members a revised look and feel to the Club for them to continue to enjoy with friends and family!

Take a look at what's to come

View our fly through video below to get a better idea of how our Club will be transformed.

What's happened since March 2025?

The Pool has closed: The pool was drained and closed at the start of March ready for its revamp, which will take place once the initial demolition and footings have been done. 

The Forecourt demolished: We have been hard at work breaking down immensely thick layers of concrete which once stood as the footings of the forecourt and stair well up to the lounge bar, along with the large canopy which housed the seating area and pizzeria. 
Pizzeria moved to Compass Terrace;  with the closure of the forecourt we have rehoused our pizzeria to the Compass Terrace to ensure we continue to offer our members the option of a freshly baked pizza. As of Friday 16 May we have revamped and relaunched our Pizza offering, using freshly made fermented dough for our bases and introducing new toppings.
Piling Completed: After the fourth wettest March on record, Fifty Seven footings have been drilled, concreted and piled into rock to a depth of up to six metres filled with concrete to make the foundations of the three concrete slabs that will make the base for the new areas of the development. During ground works the builders revealed many decades of redevelopment including the pre existing sewer tank when the area was serviced by pump out truck on a fortnightly visit to the area this tank was more than two metres under the surface. The storm water drains that pass through the club were also unveiled and needed to be redirected. The ground around the pool which used to be turf needed to be removed along with layers of concrete and pavers around the area of the pool and replaced with firmer road base to strengthen the foundation for the piling and concrete slabs. Hydraulic Services will now be trenched and laid to provide drainage for both stormwater, grey water and sewer. A new grease trap to be installed updating the current outdated tanks. Further ground works are planned for the new lift well base and foundation along with some retaining walls around the North Eastern side of the site. We are now moving out of the ground towards the new generation clubhouse to provide modern services to our members and guest. 

Next steps in June. Ground work will conclude towards the end of May regarding drainage and services along with the new lift well. Framing and scaffolding will begin and there will also be works around the North Eastern side of the site for retaining walls and planter boxes for the Waterview Terrace and footings for the new pathway access from the driveway to the new kitchen. Framing and scaffolding will start to set up for the first level floor where the two restaurants will be located along with the new purpose built kitchen to provide an array of food offerings for the clubs members. These works will progress for several weeks to prepare for the three concrete slabs that will make the top deck function rooms new twenty-five metre deck with 180-degree views from Mona Vale to Palm Beach. The second slab will be the two new restaurants, bar and kitchen and the ground floor will surround the refurbished pool area, kids playground and Cafe' / Providoring outlet new ground floor reception area, lift and stairway.

The redevelopment will cause some inconveniences during the building period, but the Club encourages members to be patient and embrace the changes for a better future. Members can check the Club's website for live footage of the building works and additional information.
Stay safe, healthy, and engaged with the RMYC BB Life.

The Club looks forward to welcoming you soon.
