30 Year Lease
Approval of the 30 year lease was received in early May from the Office of Local Government and the next steps is Northern Beaches Council working with the Club on the details of the lease arrangements and undertaking a market valuation of the Course and Clubhouse to determine the rental rate.
The process is expected to take a few months and Members will be updated as further progress is made.

Boat Ramp Parking and Wash Down Bay
Northern Beaches Council are proposing changes to two of the four car parks on the southern side of the headland road opposite the boat ramp. The proposed changes will remove two car spaces and re-install a second boat washdown bay. These four car parks were only installed in the past 12 months, however the Council and Fishing Club have determined the requirement for additional space for the boat wash down bay.
