Committee Update – February 2024
This update summarises the resolutions and updates discussed at the February Committee meeting. Below the updates are quick links to messages and information posted in the Member News and social media in February.
New golf shop: Following the Committee approval of interior and exterior design features, a digital walk-through model is being developed for member feedback. The Committee also approved the rededication of the new golf shop as the M.T. Stafford Golf Shop. A Landscape Master Plan is in development to shape the surrounds of the golf shop.
Temporary golf shop and storage facilities: On approval from our insurer, storage containers will be installed, an office will be set up for Joe Janison in the Member’s Lounge and the front section of the Women’s locker room will be converted into golf retail space with scorecard scanners. All facilities are expected to be in place by the end of March 2024.
New maintenance shed: Ralph Heading (golf shop project manager) will be engaged as project manager for the design and costing stage. Ralph will scope costs to remain in the current location, considering flood mitigation strategies and required WH&S upgrades, as well as relocating to Curzon St.
First hole works: Drainage works completion noted with improved fairway drainage and landing area which requires members to take account of subtle variations in the sloping ground when pitching to the green.
Driving range urban utilities work: The end date for the urban utilities work will extend beyond the 17 April deadline due to unexpected delays in Queensland Rail approval to work under the railway line.
Driving range project: Shaping of the tee outside the tuition shed nearing completion. Trees removed between the 9th green and practice fairway.
NorthStar app and members website: The new app will be available for members from Friday, 1 March 2024. The current app will continue to function for several months.
New Members: Juniors 9: Transition 1: 6 day 1: Full 3
