WORKS will get underway soon on a $1.2 million redevelopment of the Belvedere Bowls Club.
Council awarded a contract for the works last month. The existing office building will be demolished and the clubroom will be extended to allow space for a new storeroom, bar, cleaner’s room, match committee room, entry foyer, and office.
The kitchen will also be refurbished, and the car park will be altered.
Belvedere Bowls Club currently caters for just under 200 members. Board member and groundskeeper Rod Atherton said the refurbishment “will be fantastic”.
“Bowling is popular and this will provide room for future growth,” he said.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “restrictions have meant that many residents, particularly our senior residents, have been unable to socialise or remain active over the past eight months.
“The Belvedere bowlers love their sport and use the three greens for competition four days a week during Pennant season and three days a week during the off season. It’s great to know that not only will members once again be able to take to the green, they’ll also have a new clubhouse to be proud of.”
