A leading north shore RSL club has resurrected plans to rebuild the venue into a multistorey building after previous development attempts faced opposition from local residents.
Roseville RSL has lodged a $31 million proposal to rebuild its single-storey venue into a new seven-level development featuring a new club and 37 apartments.
The new proposal represents a five-fold increase in the current size of the venue – expanding it from 820sq m to 4124sq m plans.
The redeveloped club would have 321sq m of communal open space, four levels of basement carparking with 90 carparking spaces and new signage.
Plans show the new RSL venue could accommodate up to 220 patrons at any one time.
The club’s proposal states the development would support local jobs and provide new units to address housing demand in the area.
“The redevelopment is a unique opportunity to improve and regenerate (the club) and is consistent with the desired future character of the Roseville town centre.”
“The proposed development will promote the social and economic welfare of the local community through the provision of high-quality residential space and non-residential space.”
The proposal comes almost two years after a previous redevelopment plan of the club was met with opposition from Ku-ring-gai Council and local residents.
Many of the concerns centred on plans by the club to acquire a six-metre-wide strip of council-owned land next to the venue to incorporate into the development.
As part of the earlier proposal, the club negotiated with the council to acquire the land, however an agreement was not entered into and the development did not proceed.
The new plans stated the development would still involve the acquisition of the land and the club has already made an offer to acquire the land.
A Ku-ring-gai Council spokeswoman said: “Negotiations are continuing with the Roseville RSL Club on their proposed redevelopment plans”.
“These will remain commercial in confidence until a report is prepared for the council to consider later this year,” she said in a statement.
The proposal has been lodged to Ku-ring-gai Council and is currently under assessment.
The club currently has a membership base of about 1100 people.
