Councilors back golf course lease with $19 million makeover expected

POSTED ON March 9, 2024 @ 10:20 am

City of Fremantle councilors have green-lit a major land transaction for its public golf course to be privately leased in a deal expected to launch a $19 million makeover of the grounds.

As part of the lease deal, proponents Belgravia Leisure will carry out major construction to transform the Montreal Street course to include a new clubhouse, multi-storey driving range, retail, food and beverage facilities and a course “realignment” to integrate into Booyeembara Park.

The $19 million project would also come with a contingency of $1.8 million to cover cost escalations due to pressures in the construction market.

These included that the golf course remained affordable and accessible and any new facilities had to include reception areas, social spaces and food and beverage facilities.

The reconfiguration of the course has been in part funded by Main Roads, which snaffled part of the land to make room for the roundabout constructed at the intersection of High Street and Stirling Highway in 2020.
