Cabra-vale Diggers is chipping away at its grand 20-year Masterplan presenting its new events pavilion, bowls greens, lounges and bar as part 1 of a five-stage plan. At $14 million, the newly-built The Space is a state-of-the-art event centre for the club in the heart of Sydney’s southwest.
Cabra-Vale Diggers’ luxury new facility offers a premium events space that caters for everything from weddings to corporate events and special celebrations. With a capacity for up to 300 guests, The Space is a spectacularly-designed venue that includes a show-stopping modern chandelier over a staircase that leads to several rooms with versatile layouts, screens in every room and the latest in sound and lighting technology.
Shayne-Anne O’Leary, Cabra-Vale Diggers Marketing & Business Development Manager said: “Our focus is, ensuring consistently high standards of service, and building strong relationships with my clients to deliver the perfect event, whether it be their dream wedding or corporate event.”
The pavilion also overlooks two 38sqm natural Tifdwarf couch grass rinks serviced by a bowls lounge area that doubles as a function room, a bowlers’ bar located on ground level and men’s and ladies’ locker rooms also on the ground floor. In addition, the pavilion’s balcony offers full views over the two new bowling greens the site of which was once home to a police station.
The club has also relocated its northern alfresco gaming area which will be absorbed by an extension of the southern alfresco gaming area.
Stage 2 includes new underground parking with electronic entry for 375 vehicles, a world-class gaming room and a unique eastern entry point with a huge port cochere from Railway Parade. A 300-seat Italian restaurant is also in the works.
Stage 3 is a 140-room hotel that Accor Novotel will operate. While the hotel will not be complete for another 2-3 years, excavation is already underway and will feature a hotel pool, spa and lounge, business lounge and café.
