Sharks Leagues Club Development Plan

[fitz]

Yeah, acknowledgement is a good thing - a single step in the right direction - not a destination achieved.

Good to see finally respects paid to and acknowledgement of the Dharawal people, the traditional owners of the Sharks land.

If the Club is serious about cultural change it will have to walk-the-walk as well as talk-the-talk and be genuine about resolving rifts.

Personally, I think a "healing" process is needed but it'll take BIG men and women to embrace that challenge and to have inclusion as its primary focus.

If the ditch shoveling unearths any Robson love notes at the dig site all good to recycle
Cheers

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Public thanks from Keogh to the previous board, specifically naming DI, Douglas & Ward, is in my mind a significant gesture and a massive step forward.

Agreed

 

[Shark]

But some Won't acknowledge that.

Good for the club anyhow.

I'll acknolwedge it.

Keogh isn't totally without class, he knew it was the right thing to do.

While he and his colleagues might privately mock their predecessors in private, Keogh knows how to play the game.

These comments are now on the public record and that's a good thing.

I wonder what they dug out of the shovel pit before they put good soil in there.

so members got this email today...

Please see following correspondence from our property development partners Bluestone Group briefly outlining some proposed modifications to the existing planning proposal for Woolooware Bay Town Centre’s Retail Precinct.

On behalf of Bluestone I also invite you to an important information evening which will involve Bluestone representatives explaining in further detail the exciting proposed changes that have the potential to further strengthen our Club through the new Woolooware Bay Town Centre. Details of the information evening are below.

Marcelo A. Veloz
Interim Group CEO
Cronulla Sutherland Sharks Group

INFORMATION EVENING
DATE: 24 November 2014
TIME: 5.30pm
LOCATION: Aqua Room, Cronulla Sutherland Leagues Club
RSVP: 20 November 2014 Email: emclaughlin@bluestonegroup.com.au
T: (02) 9523 1622

Bluestone with the support of the Sharks has spearheaded the transformation of Woolooware Bay into a new hub of life, activity and entertainment. With a new Town Centre, we are seeing how four distinct precincts on the foreshore will help to build a vibrant community and a stronger Sharkies into the future.

Woolooware Bay has been embraced by the local community with property sales exceeding expectations with 90% of homes released already sold - the vast majority of these to local Shire residents. This clearly demonstrates the strong demand for homes in our community for our community.

Many of you would know The Shire is in desperate need of high quality conferencing, events, and tourist facilities. Many local businesses resort to finding conference and event locations in the City or other places outside The Shire. This means our local businesses pump millions of dollars into other Sydney economies - and The Shire misses out.

Bluestone are working on an application to the Department of Planning and Environment to modify the existing planning proposal for Woolooware Bay Town Centre’s Retail Precinct.

THE PROPOSAL WILL INCLUDE:

• A quality hotel with short term stay serviced apartments
• Conference facilities owned and operated by the Sharks
• A potential sporting Centre of Excellence for our elite athletes
• 200 residential apartments
• Community spaces to be operated by the Club for local community groups, and
• More commercial spaces.

Over the last two years, we have gained an enormous amount of intelligence about the housing and tourist markets in The Shire. We’ve met with Council, local businesses, local residents and other stakeholders, who have helped us identify these opportunities to further strengthen both Woolooware Bay Town Centre and the Sharks. Most importantly, we have found new ways to give even more back to our community.

We are providing solutions to local issues and we have local support because we are Shire-focused.

I look forward to seeing you at the information session on 24 November 2014 at 5.30pm in the Aqua Room at the Cronulla Sutherland Leagues Club.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairfax
Managing Director
Bluestone Property Solutions

whats your address? I just brought 36 eggs and need to put them to use

 

[Tweedle]

This is very big. An extra 200 units alone (at say an average of $700,000) would give us an extra $14mil. On top of the other facilities proposed that would no doubt generate us income.
