Heritage-listed clubhouse gets a makeover

The Canberra Croquet Club’s heritage clubrooms before being restored.

WORK to restore a heritage-listed croquet clubhouse in Canberra is complete.

Improvements at the Canberra Croquet Club’s clubhouse in Yarralumla include new toilets and kitchen, upgrades to the storage room, the installation of a ramp, and the removal of asbestos.

The clubhouse was built next to the Hyatt Hotel in 1933, and is heritage listed.

“The new facility enables a more welcoming experience for all our members to enjoy including disability access, more efficient use of the lawns and a much improved storage space for the club,” said Canberra Croquet Club President Greg Diprose.

The renovation work was made possible through a $410,000 grant from the ACT government, with the club adding $100,000 of its own funds towards the upgrade.
