Golf course redevelopment in the works

THE Rossdale Golf Club has consulted with its members about the potential redevelopment of its Aspendale golf course.

The proposal would see the golf course rezoned for a different use. The first stage of consultation concluded earlier this month.

The presentation prepared for the first stage of consultation read that the club was not profitable enough to remain viable at its current home.

“Despite the efforts of Rossdale’s board, members and staff to ensure Rossdale’s viability at Aspendale, membership subscriptions and department profits do not fund its fixed costs and coupled with debt, this is now no longer possible. As numerous other golf clubs have done, the board has engaged a team to secure the rezone required to gain the funding to ensure its long term preservation,” the Rossdale Golf Club presentation read. “When considering cash flow shortages, Rossdale does not have the capital required to repair or upgrade its facilities to meet consumer expectations and retain members.”

The Aspendale site is approximately 43.5 hectares. Aspendale Station is around 400 metres to the north-west of the land, and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands is to the east of it.

The land proposed for redevelopment is currently zoned “Special Use Zone”. It would need to be rezoned to allow for development.

The Rossdale Golf Club was contacted for comment. A statement on its website reads that more than 90 per cent of attendees at a meeting in December 2018 voted to sell the current site and relocate. The club will continue to accept members in the meantime.

A draft masterplan is expected to be released this August.
