Golf club leads scorecard in bid for lease
THE 450 members of Devilbend Golf Club seem set to retain control of the future of their golf course.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has agreed to a new 21-year lease for the Loders Rd, Moorooduc, golf course.
However, the operations of the golf club are to be subject to a review by private consultants hired by council.
The lease effectively rules out advertising that the golf course was available for lease or appointing a commercial manager, as recommended by the shire’s property operations team leader, Greg Collins.
The report to a council meeting in April with Mr Collins’ recommendations was dropped without explanation from the agenda (“Golf club in the rough over lease” The News 25/4/17).
Mr Collins said granting the club a third 21-year lease over the Crown land “would limit council control over the property to the terms and conditions of the lease”.
