ABOUT US
The Dunsborough Country Club’s (DDCC) clubhouse is located at 40 Gifford Road Dunsborough and is nestled in amongst the Jarrah, Marri, Sheoak and Peppermint trees that line the approaches to the clubhouse from the golf course. The first and eighteenth holes which leave and approach the clubhouse are frequently the resting, shading and grazing places for Western Grey Kangaroos.
The DDCC was opened on 29 December 1973. Since September 1982 we have operated a bar licence under the management of a full time Bar manager. In 2018 the liquor licence was changed from a club to a restricted tavern licence. The club currently has over 700 members and provides lawn Bowls (outdoor carpet), Croquet, Tennis (adult and junior), Golf, Mountain Biking (adults and juniors) and mind sports such as Mahjong and Canasta.
The DDCC relies on member volunteers to manage the affairs of the club and to maintain the infrastructure of the club.
2023 MASTERPLAN – DUNSBOROUGH & DISTRICTS COUNTRY CLUB
Masterplan proposals have been prepared by Otium Planning consultants in conjunction with the City of Busselton following consultations and workshops with club members and other community representatives. This process was initiated by the City as part of their Dunsborough Sport, Recreation & Community Services Planning and Investigation in order to update and re-cost their Sport & Recreation Facilities Strategy 2020-2030.
Details of the two proposals presented to the club by the City of Busselton are NOW AVAILABLE for download from the City of Busselton Your Say website.
The City of Busselton Your Say website will serve as a hub for all information related to this project.
3 YEAR STRATEGIC INTENT REVIEW
The Club, with the assistance of the City of Busselton, has now finalised a review of Strategic Intent Review for the next 3 years. The city funded a consultant to facilitate the workshops and manage the conduct and analysis of a member survey. The Management Committee and representatives from each sport section were involved in the workshop sessions.
The club’s STRATEGIC INTENT REVIEW 2025-2027 has now been approved by the Club Management Committee and is available for members to download from the club’s Member Only website at: https://dcc.wildapricot.org/ (see Committee Minutes & Reports).
