More than two years after unveiling plans to sell its town centre greens and build a new world class multi-million dollar bowling and social club, Bowls Warkworth is a step closer to realising its dream.
Rodney Local Board members voted last month to grant the club a community lease for 25 years, with subsequent right to reapply, for 1.2 hectares of Auckland Council-owned reserve land in Glenmore Drive.
The lease includes an initial five year term for planning and construction, then two 10-year terms, as per council guidelines.
The club will soon hold a special meeting for members to vote on the proposal and how to proceed.
