Magpies Sporting Club are beyond thrilled to spill the beans and reveal our much anticipated redevelopment plans. Brace yourselves for a spectacular transformation that will redefine the Magpies experience. It all starts 2025. Enjoy these external renders of the club, whilst we continue working with BSBN architects to fine tune the interiors.
Within the first 2 stages of the 3-stage development, we will be moving the reception entrance to the eastern precinct of the club, including a porte cochere all weather pick up and drop off zone. A new, stylish café and bar doubles in size from the existing space, boasting a seamless indoor/outdoor transition as you dine and relax overlooking our lush sporting fields. The much-needed restaurant refurbishment will accommodate more dining members with a new food offering. We haven’t forgotten the Pee Wee’s with a fantastic new indoor area triple the size of The Nest currently. The Players Lounge will double in size, as we create a more spacious, luxurious space for player comfort, complimented with an elegant gaming bar, keno lounge and Designated Outdoor Smoking Areas.
For our ever growing team, which is currently at 140 employees and expected to increase upon redevelopment completion, we will be completely rebuilding our administration and staff facilities on the upper level of the club.
The final stage of the redevelopment includes a new look sportsbar doubling the seating area, featuring a new section for the viewing of live televised sporting events as well as a brand new bar giving us the ability to offer an increased beverage offering range. A new deck, dedicated outdoor smoking area, accessible ramp, and landscaping will complete the redevelopment.
Magpies is evolving and we can’t wait to share the magic with you. This is more than just a redevelopment, it’s a celebration of progress and a commitment to providing you with the best. This webpage keep you up to date with progress and a front row seat to the unveiling of our revamped haven.
While our renovations are still underway behind the scenes, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of what our masterplan staged reception foyer and café could look like! Take a virtual walkthrough.
We’re excited to share that our redevelopment project is progressing smoothly, and we’ve recently brought in some top-tier consultants to help take our development planning to the next level! From architecture and design experts to specialists in sustainability and member experience, we’ve handpicked a team who are passionate about creating a space that reflects our member needs and values of our community. The new carpark is scheduled to begin construction within the first months of 2025, with the major redevelopment scheduled to begin in the middle of 2025, its certainly an exciting time to be a Magpie!
