Bega Valley Shire Council is seeking feedback from the community on a planning proposal by the Pambula Merimbula Golf Club to allow the club to diversify the use of its land to support potential future tourist accommodation options.
Council’s Strategic Planner, Elizabeth Schindler said the planning proposal has been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and is now on public exhibition, to permit the use of tourist and visitor accommodation.
“The proposal explains that while the golf course itself is a highly valued and popular public recreational facility, the present clubhouse is no longer suited to the needs of the golf club members and their visitors,” Ms Schindler said.
“Following increased food and beverage competition by establishments in Pambula and Merimbula, the club closed its dining function some time ago and runs a minimal service from a smaller function room.
“The planning proposal will enable the redevelopment of the clubhouse and its immediate environs for tourist and visitor accommodation and a functional smaller golf clubhouse that better suits the needs of the club members and visitors.
“The club is focussing on visiting golfers who often seek accommodation within or close to the golf course environment.
“This concept of Stay-and-Play is becoming very popular as more golfers, including international golfers, tour Australia to play golf at different golf courses.”
