Clubhouse Approval Press Release
Maleny Golf Club Greenlights $1.5M Clubhouse Project Maleny Golf Club is embarking on another exciting development phase with plans to construct a new fit-for-purpose $1.5 million clubhouse to complement its award-winning 18-hole golf course in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland. At a General Meeting held on Saturday, 1 November, members voted overwhelmingly in favour of a special resolution authorising the board to debt-fund construction of the new clubhouse which is expected to be operational by mid-2026. The resolution empowered the Board to borrow sufficient funds from members, banks, or other institutions to finance the project, which also recently received Owner’s Consent from the Sunshine Coast Council as lessor. Club President Doug Evans said the new clubhouse would provide a much-needed up-grade from the club’s aging temporary facilities and would be shared for use by other community groups such as the Brisbane Astronomical Society. “This is a major milestone for the Maleny Golf Club to finally have a permanent headquarters. Our members have shown incredible patience and support for this project to deliver a modern, functional clubhouse which reflects the quality of our course and depth of community support,” he said. Mr Evans said that since opening the first 9 holes in 2015, the golf club had operated essentially debt-free from temporary headquarters cleverly created from two old shipping containers. “This cost-effective arrangement enabled us to channel grant funds and surplus cash into the establishment of a state-of-the-art maintenance facility, completion of our second 9 holes and acquisition of equipment to raise the course presentation to an exceptionally high standard,” he said. “However, our temporary clubhouse was always just that and becoming increasingly unfit for purpose due to the condition of the facility and the club’s continued growth in membership and visitor patronage.” Members have already offered loans totalling $725,000, demonstrating strong community confidence in the future of Maleny Golf Club and its high quality course which has evolved into a must-play destination for golfers. The golf club also has a preliminary agreement in place with the Bank of Queensland for a 10-year loan of up to $750,000 – contingent on final contract documentation with a Sunshine Coast-based modular building specialist. Mr Evans said the modular design of the 422 square metre clubhouse would allow for efficient, off-site prefabrication and future expansion when required. “This development marks another step forward for Maleny Golf Club as it continues to strengthen its position as one of Queensland’s premier regional golf destinations,” he said. Site works will begin in January 2026 - after which the building will be delivered in six modules and lifted into place in a single day, becoming operational within approximately eight weeks.
Clubhouse Update Press Release - 28/01/2026
Work well underway on Maleny Golf Club’s new $1.7 million clubhouse
Construction of Maleny Golf Club’s new $1.7 million clubhouse has reached a significant early milestone with the completion of bulk earthworks on time and within budget.
The new facility is expected to be operational by mid-2026 and will complement the golf club’s award-winning 18-hole course in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland.
President Doug Evans said progress to date reflected careful planning, attention to detail and dedication by the golf club’s skilled on-site management team.
“This is a significant undertaking and our team has done a great job completing this crucial stage of works efficiently and with minimal disruption to members, patrons and day-to-day golf operations,” Mr Evans said.
Significantly, Mr Evans said member donations had also enabled the club to fund expansion of the building’s original footprint from 422 to 483 square metres by adding an extra module now, rather than later as previously planned.
“The extra $200,000 being invested will future-proof the clubhouse for at least the next 10-to-15 years and avoid inevitable disruption to extend the building later at far greater cost,” Mr Evans said.
Mr Evans said the modular design of the clubhouse allowed for efficient off-site prefabrication and rapid erection.
“Once the footings are completed the seven modules will be lifted into place by crane in one day and the building should become operational within another 10-to-12 weeks following fit-out,” he said.
Since opening its first nine holes in 2015, the club has operated from temporary facilities created from two shipping containers.
The new clubhouse represents the next exciting chapter in Maleny Golf Club’s growth and long-term vision.
