The Club plans to lease 1.9% of its 128-hectare site, 7km west of the Brisbane CBD, to the boutique village operator for 60 years, with a 60-year option to build the village which would feature 215 units across four buildings four to five storeys high.

Designed by Cox Architecture, the units would be constructed over two stages and involve only a minor re-routing of the existing course – with 96% of the club’s members endorsing the plans.

According to The Courier-Mail, the Club’s management has also been working to get the community on side, mailing out 28,000 flyers to residents and holding a series of community meetings last year with more community consultation planned.

The development does have another factor in its favour too. The site falls outside of Brisbane City Council’s plan to scrap plans for villages and aged care on sports land.
