Big things are happening at Karingal Bowls Club, with the newest international standard bowls facility in the world being built.
Anyone driving down Skye Road would get a surprise at the sight of a huge superstructure rising above the clubhouse.
The self-funded million-dollar project features a state-of-the-art teflon fabric roof (8m high) and international synthetic green.
Plus it will have all the trimmings — TV standard LED lighting, grandstand seating and the latest electronic scoring and sound.
Karingal Bowls Club chairman David Allen said the arena has the capability to host state and national plus major local events.
“It’s been a two-year undertaking so far,’’ he said.
“We’re expecting to be playing on it by Christmas.’’
