THE Shepparton Club has launched a $10M, four-stage redevelopment that will modernise its facilities while strengthening its role as a community hub.
Stage one is almost complete, relocating and expanding staff offices upstairs to improve space and expand administrative and staff facilities.
Stage two will transform the ground floor, featuring a new sports bar with a 6m LED TV, a relocated gaming room and smoker’s area, improved member’s area and entry points, plus enhanced security including facial recognition. Work is expected to begin shortly and take about four months.
General Manager, Wayne Sutton said the changes would allow the club to extend its opening hours.
“With the new layout, we’ll be able to offer breakfast and open earlier in the day without compromising security,” he said.
Stages three and four, scheduled for next year, will see a full bistro redevelopment, temporary relocation of dining facilities, and the addition of a multi-purpose boardroom with modern conferencing technology. The exterior will also receive a facelift, with new features allowing the façade to change colours.
Designed by Nervegna Reed Architects and delivered by Glenn Rickys & Moylan with local trades, it is the club’s first major upgrade since 2000.
Beyond bricks and mortar, the club contributes more than $100,000 annually to local charities and plans to expand community offerings, including Sunday music sessions and new spaces for its 10,000+ members.
The Shepparton Club is located at 455 Wyndham St, Shepparton, and is open for business during the four-stage redevelopment.
