Since the last update, we have been busy finalising the design to enable commencement of Phase 1 of the Lidcombe Masterplan, namely the renovation and expansion of the existing Lidcombe Club.
We are disappointed to announce that the new premises project that the Club has been working on with Ecove in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct, is not going ahead.

The demolition of the Club’s John St shops and the former Three Lanterns Bar at our Lidcombe site was completed in October 2022 ahead of schedule, with minimal disruption to Members and the local community.
