A development proposal being considered by Central Coast Council is in four stages.
Stage one will include main ground floor works such as demolition, alterations and additions to provide amenities, sports bar, active sports facilities, gaming lounge, outdoor gaming room and outdoor terraces.
There will be a new entry to the club and the southern portion of the carpark will be extended and resurfaced along with an upgraded vehicular access from Shelly Beach Rd.
The second stage will see alterations on level one including a kitchen remodel, revised internal layout for the bistro, restaurant, café and lounge along with an outdoor terrace.
Attention will turn to the function rooms in stage three.
Stage four will see demolition of the pro shop and construction of a new shop, extension of driveway circulation areas and a new ramp, stairway and roofed entry to the club.
Major carpark improvements and redesign will start in stage three and continue through stage four with an increase of 54 spaces taking the total to 221 including eight accessible spots.
Entry/exit points in Bonnieview St and Shelly Beach Rd will remain unchanged but a boom gate entry is proposed for better security and all vehicles entering the site will require ticket entry.
