A major expansion is on the cards for Doyalson-Wyee RSL Club to include housing, hotel and fast food outlets, go kart track, paintball and an expansion of the popular Raw Challenge.
The first hurdle in the 20-year expansion has been overcome, with Central Coast Council voting to take steps to rezone the club’s land.
The council will exhibit a planning proposal to rezone the land at 49-65 Wentworth Ave and 80-120 Pacific Highway, Doyalson to allow for the expansion.
The popular site will be developed in stages over the next two decades, including the relocation and expansion of the club and gym to 110 Pacific Highway Doyalson.
The complete redevelopment, expected to create more than 900 jobs, will include around 140 low density houses, 220 seniors houses, medical facilities, childcare centre, service station, food outlets and hotel accommodation.
The recreational facilities will also be overhauled to include an indoor sport facility, go kart track, paintball and expansion of the popular Raw Challenge course.
The 45ha site currently has the RSL club, gymnasium, sporting fields, Raw Challenge course, a house, greenhouses and offices.
The planning proposal will seek to rezone land from private recreation to low density residential and from transition to low density residential and private recreation.
It will also seek additional uses to allow for features such as health care services and child care facilities.
Deputy Mayor Chris Holstein expressed concerns about the loss of much-used sporting fields at the site and the impact this will have on local clubs.
Cr Holstein passed a motion to ensure no work will commence until clubs find alternate grounds.
“This is about protecting sporting associations that use the site,” he said.
“I know the importance to sporting associations that use these private fields.”
The Doylo Lifestyle Group, which owns and manages the fields, has indicated it has spoken to the sporting clubs that use the facilities and have committed to helping them find other grounds.
