Known affectionately as “The Builders Club,” The Illawarra Master Builders Club has been a cornerstone of the Wollongong area—a relaxed and friendly destination with a strong service tradition. With the collaborative expertise of GROUPN, the aim is to leverage this solid foundation to develop facilities that stand the test of time and remain relevant within the community.
In partnership with Club Management, the Board of Directors, and the skilled team at New England Constructions, The Builders Club embarks on a multi-stage project to upgrade and diversify its facilities, setting the stage for future growth and success. The plan includes practical enhancements such as a new entry, multi-deck car park, lifts, and escalators to improve accessibility. Gaming spaces, an outdoor gaming lounge, a refurbished cafe, an expansive sports viewing lounge, and an upgraded restaurant and Club bistro are all part of this comprehensive revitalization.
Rooted in a genuine appreciation for sports, The Builders Club proudly sponsors local teams and serves as a go-to destination for sports enthusiasts to enjoy national and international events. This commitment to sports aligns seamlessly with the Club’s ethos of fostering positive social experiences for members and guests.
Beyond the physical improvements, The Builders Club is a hub of diverse promotions, with Raffles and Bingo drawing a broad demographic and serving as major attractions. Hosting three out of four food offerings, the Club has received positive feedback on tourism websites, with the Stonegrill Steakhouse earning particular acclaim. The entertainment spectrum expands further with the Club’s popular Comedy Night hosted in the basement, creating enjoyable evenings that have become a local favourite.
As The Illawarra Master Builders Club envisions its future, this multi-stage project is not just a renovation; it’s a testament to the Club’s commitment to adapting with the times, strengthening community connections, and creating a welcoming space where traditions are honoured, and new experiences unfold.
