Site Background 

On February 25, 2020, Council agreed in principle to the proposal by Warringah Golf Club (the Club) to build a new clubhouse on the current Warringah Recreation Centre (WRC) site. We are pleased to confirm that the Club has recently received approval for Development Application (DA 2022/2081) to construct the clubhouse at the northern end of the WRC, located on Kentwell Road, North Manly. Following a public notification process earlier this year, Council granted a 3-year construction lease for the project. For more information, please visit Your Say page .

Alongside this development, Council will be constructing new recreational tennis and squash facilities, as well as providing additional parking on the remaining area of Lot 3 (the current Warringah Recreation site). Council has secured over $3 million in State Government funding to support the rebuild of the WRC.

With the Club’s DA approval in place and the lease area now confirmed, Council intention to enter into a 20-year lease with the Club, resulted in a public consultation process from 2nd October 2024 to 31 October 2024.
