Leeton Shire Council has granted consent for the development of a new Clubhouse at the Leeton Golf Course; a project that is being funded and managed by the Golf Course Benevolent Trust & Golf Club, with financial support from the NSW Regional Sports Facility Fund – Infrastructure ($425K) and a private benefactor. Council will contribute to the construction of carparking facilities.
Works are set to commence in the next couple of weeks with initial works including clearing and site establishment.
Users of the golf course will not experience any disruptions from the development as the Clubhouse is being built on a parcel of land that is adjacent to the Golf Course. The land is Council-owned and provided to the Golf Club on a 99-year lease at a nominal rent.
Leeton Golf Club Vice President, Mark Del Gigante, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "It's great to see the long-awaited Clubhouse project is finally underway. It will provide a wonderful facility for the golfers of Leeton and visitors to the course to relax and socialise after a round of golf."
Prior to DA consent, Council commissioned an independent Business Case review in collaboration with the Golf Club to ensure the viability of the project.
Construction on the new Clubhouse is expected to be completed by October 2024.
