Golf club lease extended
THE Mossman Golf Club’s future has been secured for the next 20 years.
It has been offered two new concurrent 20-year leases over land that they occupy at the intersection of Newell Rd and Mossman-Daintree Rd.
As part of the lease conditions, the council will hand over the ground maintenance assets to the club.
Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said she was pleased to confirm the club’s ongoing future.
“The Mossman Golf Club occupies a popular venue that provides recreational and social opportunities for the community,” she said.
“These new leases will mean that responsibility for asset maintenance, as is typical for these types of tenure arrangements, now rests with the Mossman Golf Club.
“This will also afford them a greater sense of ownership of the facility for the benefit of the local golfing fraternity.”
The council took over the land with clubhouse and facilities in December 2020 to safeguard the future of the golf club for the community after it went into financial difficulties.
The first year’s rent is $550.
The club employs local staff and contractors. The RV park also generates income.
