A spokesperson for the oval’s management committee, Tony Hardman was excited to be able to share the plans with the wider community and said they had already been shown to many interested parties.

The scale of the planned work will see the construction of a club large enough to rival local bowling and golf clubs.

The upstairs building plans feature a bar and lounge area that can seat up to 200 people, an area that can be utilised as an auditorium for up to 240 people or a dining room for up to 200 people, a large kitchen and an outdoor verandah that will include seating for up to 80 people or standing room for 175 people.

The lower level of the club will include change rooms for the home and visiting sides along with toilet and shower facilities for the teams, a gymnasium for training, a first aid and injury rest room, a change room for the umpires and referees and a large meeting room.

The plans show the clubhouse will be situated into the hill and will incorporate areas for meetings that can be utilised by local community groups.

Along with the construction of a multilevel clubhouse, to be utilised by the Milton Ulladulla Bulldogs and other local community and sporting groups, the redevelopment will include work on the surrounding land, including plans to upgrade the field and the surrounds, including addition parking and the refurbishment of the existing building.

Mr Hardman said the plans were open to revision, with an addition of a hot food and licensed drinks outlet on the lower level to be included and to operate on game days.

Feedback on the plans has been mixed with the community questioning various elements of the plans.

Local builder and rugby league official Will Gorter on seeing the plans at Mollymook Oval last Sunday said that he would have preferred the building to be located further south leaving more of “the hill" as unsheltered public viewing space.

Despite his reservations about the building placement, Mr Gorter said he could understand why the architect used the allocated allotment.

Mr Hardman said other concerns had been addressed including the large number of showers included in the design, which are determined by health regulations.

The committee is awaiting the announcement of the Federal Government Jobs Fund initiative to fund part of the work at the oval and said additional funds would be raised by the committee and the community.
