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.
