We started planning this project 5 years ago, trying to improve the flow through the club, this issues we faced were the lack of bar service in the restaurant, the separation from the TAB to the main club and the lack of atmosphere in the main lounge when the attendance is smaller. Our aim to create  a smaller club footprint for day to day use and have the flexibility to open up or hire out the main lounge for large events.

During the planning process, we found that the Club building was earthquake prone and while it would not fall down in a major earthquake, it needed strengthening to ensure that it would withstand such an event and retain it's structural integrity.

We have been busy for the the past 6 months starting our strengthening works, unfortunately other from loud noises and hoardings, when each area is finished there is very little to see, we know it is there and will make a major difference in a major earthquake, when it really count's!
