Tell us what you want at the former Artarmon Bowling Club site

Council is seeking your thoughts and ideas on how Council could renew the former Artarmon Bowling Club site.

We invite you to attend an information session on Monday 6 May between 7 pm and 8 pm and speak with staff about your ideas.

In February 2016 Council acquired the former Artarmon Bowling Club site. A condition of purchase was that the Bowling Club site remains a community recreation facility.

On 24 July 2017, Council resolved to establish a Citizens Panel made up of 15 local community representatives to the consider future options for the former Artarmon Bowling Clubhouse, and the cost of upgrading/maintaining the current building. A building audit of the 70-year-old weatherboard club building indicates that an estimated $1.4m will be needed to meet current building standards.

Council reconvened the Citizens Panel on 23 April 2018. The Citizens Panel was asked to comment on the Draft Plan for Artarmon Parklands with regard to the grounds of the former Artarmon Bowling Club. The panel was also asked to comment on the renewal of the Artarmon Bowling Clubhouse building. The options presented to the panel were;

• Activation – Option 1
• Keep Artarmon Bowling Club as it is.
• Activation – Option 2
• Refurbish the building as a community facility.
• Activation – Option 3
• Replace clubhouse with an outdoor recreation pavilion and accessible amenity block.

We also invite your thoughts on the types of activation options you would like to see developed at the site.
