CHELTENHAM, VIC. — Bayside Council has renewed Cheltenham Golf Club’s lease on the Cheltenham Golf Course site for a further 21 years.
The decision is subject to Ministerial Approval as the site is Crown Land.
The lease renewal will maintain Cheltenham Golf Club’s management of the site, where it has operated as a public golf club since 1930.
The lease has been awarded with the provision that the club will undertake works to rectify safety issues and revitalise the natural environment around the site.
Bayside Council undertook community consultation on Cheltenham Golf Club’s lease proposal following the August Council meeting.
“The overwhelming support for the Cheltenham Golf Club lease renewal (1138, 96 per cent) is grounded in its role as an inclusive, affordable, and multi-use community asset that delivers health, social, environmental, and economic benefits,” a council spokesperson said.
