The $50 million Bingara Gorge Country Club has received the green light from Wollondilly Shire Council at its final meeting for 2023.
Construction is expected to start in the middle of next year and with completion late 2025.
The modern pavilions style venue, designed by award winning Sydney based design practice H&E Architects, will accommodate between 800 and 1000 people.
A family bistro and bar, large outdoor kids play area, beer garden, sports bar and multiple function spaces will be some of the features.
Nestled on a 7,280 square metre parcel of land adjacent to Bingara Gorge’s golf course in Wilton, the contemporary leisure and entertainment space will create more than 100 jobs during construction and over 100 permanent positions when completed.
“The tranquil bushland setting will make it an ideal new social amenity for residents to meet friends and neighbours, while enjoying a culinary delight or cold beverage.
“H&E Architects has beautifully captured the rural feel of the estate in the modern pavilions style design.
“Bingara Gorge’s masterplan already boasts a range of modern recreational amenities including a Graham Marsh designed 18-hole golf course,’’ he said.
“The Country Club is an integral part of the masterplan with the north easterly location overlooking the 18th fairway.”
Wollondilly Mayor Matt Gould said he was looking forward to seeing this facility come to life.
“Not only will this project create important jobs within the Shire, but when it is complete I expect it to become an important place for members of this growing community to socialise and connect,” he said.
“I’m also looking forward to the planned hotel in a future stage, which will be a great tourism asset and help drive council’s push for more visitor accommodation across our gorgeous shire.’’
