Stage 1 - Redevelopment: Access & Circulation Upgrades

Stage 1 Redevelopment: Access & Circulation Upgrades


The Stage 1 redevelopment of Pittwater RSL is focused on transforming access, entry circulation, and overall functionality to enhance member and guest experience. Key early works involve the creation of a temporary entry point, including the construction of a compliant ramp, landscaping, and protective hoarding. This enables the commencement of major structural additions such as the new terrace stairway and the procurement of a lift.


The basement level will house a new VIP lobby, lift shaft, and escalator pit, complemented by updated traffic controls and a security boom gate. From the basement to Level 1, a new vertical transport system will be constructed, although it will not yet connect to the Upper Ground Floor.


Structural penetrations, hoardings, and reinstatement of finishes will be carried out across multiple levels to accommodate these upgrades.

External enhancements are also critical in this stage. A new diesel hydrant pump will resolve fire pressure deficiencies, while a redesigned entry awning, façade improvements, and branded signage will significantly uplift the visual identity of the club. New perforated screening will be introduced in line with design approvals, and escalator procurement is under consideration pending board approval.


This phase lays the groundwork for Stage 2 enhancements, while already delivering significant community, accessibility, and social benefits.
