Driving Forward
An exciting new chapter for North Shore Golf Club
Driving Forward: The Next Chapter for North Shore Golf Club
Driving Forward : The Next Chapter for North Shore Golf Club
Driving Forward: The Next Chapter considers our future as we near the 100-year-milestone of North Shore Golf Club. This is an opportunity for us to create a new standard for our club, enhance the overall experience for members and leave a wonderful legacy for future generations.
As part of Driving Forward : The Next Chapter for North Shore Golf Club, an initial proposal was presented to voting members – with design by renowned Golf Architect, Brett Thompson focused on significantly improved drainage, rain-recoverability and accessibility – significantly enhancing both the environment and golf experience. An opportunity to fund these improvements was identified through the selling of three parcels of land, while establishing new revenue streams. Extensive research was undertaken to prepare this proposal, a buyer was identified fand a staged project plan was designed focusing on 9 holes at a time, with a commitment to ensure 18 holes were kept in play at all times of the development.
On 21st October, voting members present at the SGM voted against proceeding with this initial proposal.
Throughout the Driving Forward process we are committed to providing members with all the information they will need as we consider our future, together. This section of the website will continue to be dedicated to sharing information, the wider vision, research underpinning the strategy – and of course provides an opportunity for any questions to be asked by members as possibilities are considered.

This aspect of the initial proposal was voted against.
A word from our President
“There are key moments in the proud history of our club where members have made decisions to benefit the next generation. This includes the foresight to move to our current location here in Albany. This is a fine club that I am incredibly proud to be part of. However, it is not without challenge. We thank all of our members for their ongoing engagement in Driving Forward: The Next Chapter and acknowledge that those present at the SGM on October 21st 2024 voted against proceeding with the first proposal opportunity.
Driving Forward: The Next Chapter presents an opportunity to ensure our club’s prosperity and security for generations to come. I believe this is very important. With our 100-year milestone only a few years away, this is a pivotal moment in our history. I encourage you to absorb information, ask questions, arm yourself with knowledge and continue the legacy of those who have led the way before us.”
