Facilities at the Yackandandah Golf Club are set for a major upgrade, with Council awarding a $480,000 contract to Melton based firm Modular Spaces Pty Ltd to design and construct a new clubhouse.
Made possible by a grant of $223,000 from the Victorian Government's Local Community Sport and Recreation Projects Program, a Council contribution of $235,000 and a $50,000 contribution from the Yackandandah Golf Club, the project works will include the demolition of the existing clubrooms and toilets and replacing them with an upgraded, accessible and fit for purpose modular clubroom which will include a main hall, kitchen, office, storage area, and toilets (including an accessible toilet).
The upgrade of the clubrooms was identified as a priority during the development of Council's Active Indigo Sport and Recreation Plan 2018-2026, with the current facility being poorly lit, inaccessible, and not adequate to support female participation.
Mayor Sophie Price says that Council is committed to improving recreational opportunities for the whole community and through this upgrade, the Yackandandah Golf Club will have a modern, accessible and fit-for-purpose facility for all to enjoy.
"The new facility will provide greater opportunities for those looking to get involved in golf and also provide the Yackandandah community with an additional venue to host events," Cr Price says.
A start date for works is yet to be confirmed.
