PADDINGTON Bowling Club has shut its doors and gone into voluntary receivership after a string of setbacks including noise, liquor and gaming violations.
The club announced the decision on its Facebook page.
The statement said: “On 15 June 2015, Mr Peter Krejci and Mr Brian Silvia of BRI Ferrier (NSW) were appointed Joint and Several Voluntary Administrators of the club.
“After undertaking an urgent assessment of the club’s financial position, the Administrators have determined that as of today, 16 June 2015, trading will be suspended until further notice.”
An announcement about the club’s future will be made in the coming days.
Anthony Keon, the Director Compliance and Enforcement at the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming Racing sent an email to some nearby residents today to inform them that the club had ceased trading on Tuesday.
Calls were made to the company which owns the land and planned to redevelop it, CSKS Holdings, but its director Chris Sanchez declined to comment.
The closure comes after an appeal lodged by the club to the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) to overturn a decision to ban alcoholic beverages outdoors was lost.
The club has had a horror run.
In February this year the OLGR recommended the clubs license be stripped due to 40 breaches of the registered clubs, gaming and licensing laws.
CSKS Holdings also received widespread community backlash, for a plan to place a 100-space childcare centre on land used by the club.
