- Project scheduleJuly 2025 to Early-2026
Background
The Wembley Golf Course (WGC) driving range was built in 2010, and is owned and managed by the Town of Cambridge. The building has 80 driving range bays over two levels, along with enclosed training and function rooms, a balcony, and service areas. The eastern side of the building is open, while the western side has a partially open façade that features sponsor signage. Most of the concrete and steel is architecturally exposed.
The building has experienced surface corrosion to metallic elements, and audits have highlighted areas to target compliance with current standards. The Town engaged an engineering consultant to provide recommended actions to rectify these issues and improve future weather resistance. The building is sound, with no past or current danger to structural integrity identified by the consultant.
The design was completed in early 2025, with the Town issuing a subsequent public request for tender (RFT), seeking contractors to carry out the specified works.
The Town expects on-site activities to commence in July 2025, and the driving range will not be open to the public during the works period.
Along with the outcomes above, the renewal and upgrade works will improve aesthetic appearance of the asset and overall user experience, ensuring the WGC complex remains “Australia’s best public golf experience”.
Scope of works
- Replace, clean, and protect steel components of the driving range, to prevent reduction in the building’s life
- Improve future weather resistance by upgrading the façade and stormwater management
- Improve accessibility of stairs
- Improve aesthetic appeal for patrons
